  How is Ayirathil Oruvan Karthi?
  Vijayalakshmi Sridhar [April 2, 2009, 1:05:33 PM]
  
  Well, the most adorable star kid in Kollywood is doing just fine, shooting for Aayirathil Oruvan directed by Selvaraghavan (one of the most promising directors in Tamil cinema today). Karthi made an impressive debut in Ameer's Paruthiveeran. As the rough, rustic fellow who goes about his own ways of life and attitude, Karthi left his imprint in Paruthiveeran and the whole industry applauded his performance. For a debutant, the performance was truly striking and impressive.
  
  Soon after the film's release, accolades and offers just kept pouring in. The film was screened at various international film festivals and earned awards and appreciation at different film and viewer forums.
  
  Even two years since Paruthiveeran released, Karthi's next film Aayirathil Oruvan has yet to be released. Though this young Tamil hero is selective in his scripts, the long gap is definitely unwarranted. Or is it?
  
  But worry not! We have learnt that Aayirathil Oruvan is a typical Selvaraghavan film, strong in characterisations and theme. The film will definitely be one in a thousand (Aayirathil Oruvan) a wholesome entertainer. So the long gap is unavoidable; it just took that long for Karthi and Selvaraghavan to create this big, grand treat for expectant audiences. And they assure the wait will be worthwhile.

  Selvaraghavan plans Aayirathil Oruvan audio launch
  April 10, 2009
  Aayirathil Oruvan is inching closer towards a long overdue release. The first step towards this will be the audio release which, according to sources, is being planned to be held on a grand scale by Selvaraghavan at the Nehru Stadium in Chennai on May 1st. The event will have live performances of all the songs in the album. There are total of 10 tracks set to tune by GV Prakash, who is hugely satisfied with the results of his work. He said that the songs are sure to be loved by the youth. Mixing for the album was done at Sterling Sounds in New York.
  Aayirathil Oruvan
  
  Aayirathil Oruvan will be an action adventure with a portion reportedly being set in the 18th century. Aayirathil Oruvan stars Karthi, Reema Sen and Parthiban in lead roles. Let’s hope that the long wait for Selvaraghavan’s magnum opus pays off.

  Only 6 songs out of 10 in Aayirathil Oruvan April 16, 2009 Aayirathil Oruvan’s audio release is the most expected of the lot. The film had music scored by G.V. Prakash Kumar. From what our sources reveal, AO has ten songs in toto. However, only six songs will be featured in the film while the other four will be available only in the audio format. Interestingly, Aishwarya Dhanush and Dhanush have rendered their voice for a song. The film’s heroine Andrea was also made to croon for the tune of Aayirathil Oruvan G.V. Prakash. While the music director himself has sung two songs, one song was rendered by the legendary P.B. Srinivas. AO’s director Selvaraghavan has penned one of the 10 songs.

  Aayirathil Oruvan was tough, says GV Prakash
  June 04, 2009
  
  Finally, the Selvaraghavan-directed Aayirathil Oruvan’s audio launch is scheduled to take place on June 14th. Speaking about his experience with the director, composer GV Prakash Kumar said that working with Selvaraghavan was very challenging as he has good knowledge of music and hence wanted the best.
  
  Prakash is also working on another project, Madarasapatnam, which he considers to be very taxing. In fact, the music composer states that composing music for any period film would be a difficult task because one has to take care of the music of that period and also keep up with the expectations of the present generation.
  
  Madarasapatnam has Arya in the lead and is touted to be a period film.

  One in a thousand...
  CT gets talking to the Paruthiveeran star on his upcoming movies and things close to his heart…
  SRINIVASA RAMANUJAM Times News Network
  
  In a little over five years, Karthi has gone through three diverse schools of thought. It all started with the master of them all, Mani Ratnam, who Karthi assisted in Aayitha Ezhuthu. There, research was the key and script was the king. Very soon, the actor in Karthi bloomed in the hot heartlands of Madurai where being rough and rugged were considered royal. That was the Ameer school of ‘military filmmaking’.
  Thereafter, the Paruthiveeran star landed at the office of director Selvaraghavan — a taskmaster who was chilled out — for Aayirathil Oruvan (AO) and since then, the rainbow over Karthi’s Kollywood career has never looked brighter or more colourful.
  Selva’s magnum opus might have been delayed for a variety of reasons, but that’s not bogging down the actor one bit. “It’s simple logic,” he starts off, probably tired of explaining to many people why he disappeared post Paruthiveeran.
  “I took two years to prepare for Paruthiveeran and it paid off. Now, I need time to live up to the expectations that people have,” he says.
  But, he’s content with letting the director take key decisions when it comes to characterisation and scripting. “I’m surely a director’s actor,” he states matter-of-factly.
  It’s quite clear that the actor has fallen in love with AO, a film that he’s now describing to everybody as “something else”. Ask him why he thinks so and pat comes the reply. “It’s an adventure film,” he says, “All efforts have been taken to make sure that it’s a total experience for the viewer.”
  And that starts
  with the story itself. “The first half deals about three diverse characters (played by him, Reema and Andrea) and how they react to certain situations,” he explains, “The scenes with the three of us have really come out well and I’m sure it will go down well with the audience.”
  Being an adventure film, Karthi got down to doing something he loves — travelling. “We shot in some jungles; that was a mind-blowing experience,” he reminisces.
  When it comes to Karthi, questions about his brother Suriya are inevitable and the young lad faces them in all honesty. So, what’re they talking about these days? “Of late, I always keep thinking whether I’m working less than him,” he says. “He’s chartered a new path in Tamil cinema and I just need to follow that,” he adds. Suriya showed that he would go to great extent, even if it’s just for a little screen time. So, would Karthi join the six-pack bandwagon? “I’ve just changed from being a couch potato to a fitness freak,” he laughs, “But yes, now, I’ve realised the importance of fitness. I’m not much of a gym person but love working outdoors.”
  The actor has been given a make-over in his upcoming Paiyya, another film he’s kicked about. It has him playing an urban lad and Karthi is still finding it tough to look at himself in the mirror! “Sometimes, I feel sad at having had to shave my beard… It feels like I’ve become less macho!” And, it’s so much that he feels the need for reassurances from the director! “I’m constantly asking director Linguswamy if I come across as angry in the scenes that require me to and he always replies in the affirmative.” So Kollywood, here comes the angry young man in a new avatar!

  Aayirathil Oruvan audio on June 14
  By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 10 June , 2009, 08:35
  
  One of the most eagerly awaited film in recent times Selvaragavan’s epic Aayirathil Oruvan, will have its audio launch on Sunday, June 14.
  
  The function would be held at the University Centenary Hall in Chepauk in Chennai, where all stars from the movie including Reema Sen would be present.
  
  It would be a glitzy affair, with African and Kerala dancers, and singers who have sung in the film performing on stage. A final decision is yet to be taken on whether there will be a live telecast of the event on a popular television channel.
  
  There are 10 songs in the album composed by the little master G.V Prakash, out of which six will be there in the film. The music is going to be unique as three of the songs composed are meant on how music was in the seventh century!
  
  A lot of research has gone into these songs especially the musical instruments used in that period, which were sourced from various countries. Selvaraghavan, G.V Prakash along with other unit members is holding a press meet in Chennai today (June 10), to talk about this unique audio.
  
  Noted lyricist Vairamuthu has penned three songs with Tamil words that were used in pre-historic times. Selva has also written three of the songs in the film, which is going to take GV, to another level in Tamil film music.

  Sounds of the past
  SREEDHAR PILLAI Times News Network
  
  Selvaraghavan has a smile on his face. And there’s a reason for it. The audio of his epic Aayirathil Oruvan will be launched on Sunday at the University Centenary hall in Chennai. The film has been in the making for over two years, during which he had a fall out with music director Yuvan Shankar Raja that left a deep scar. The Selva-Yuvan combination, which has done five films together, was a rage among the youth as it had constantly churned out hit music. The duo was considered to be the Mani Ratnam-AR Rahman musical combo of the new generation.
  After his bitter parting with Yuvan, Selva chose an even younger music director,GV Prakash,to compose for the most important film in his career. In retaliation,Yuvan gave the tune of one of the songs composed for Aayirathil Oruvan to Vishnu Vardhan, who used it as Arya’s introduction song in Sarvvam (Adadada…)!
  Says Selvaraghavan, “Luckily for me, he did not use the original lyrics written by me. Composing music for this film has been the biggest challenge for 21-year-old GV Prakash.He has done an amazing job by composing 10 songs, including the theme music for the album.Of the ten,six songs will be there in the film.”
  Selva says it is the most difficult job for a music director to compose period pieces.Of the six songs in the film,three are set, as per the story, in the seventh century. So, the songs had to have an ancient feel to it. Says Selva, “We had to do quite a bit of research to find out the instruments used during those days.Finally, we tracked a Yaazh, a melodic instrument used in the Sangam age from Sri Lanka and a horn, a brass instrument made from animal horns from Bhutan. Vairamuthu wrote three of the ancient songs using certain Tamil words that
  have been lost over time.
  I have penned the other three songs. We have used sounds which are fresh and innovative,and GV will be known as a trendsetter after this film.”
  The grapevine is abuzz that all the songs in the film have been sung by his muse Andrea. Selva shoots back and says, “It is the rumour mills working overtime. For a particular song picturised on Reema Sen, Andrea, and Karthi,the leading trio in the film,GV has used the voices of Aishwarya Dhanush, Andrea and Dhanush. The other songs have been sung by P B Srinivos,GV Prakash, Karthik, Vijay Yesudas, Bombay Jayashree, Nityasri Mahadevan and flautist Naveen, who has also done the ancient instrument symphony.At the end of the day, it is team work as far as music is concerned.”
  One of the songs, a classical that is presented during the period part of the film and that has been composed using wind
  instruments,has been picturised on Parthiban and Reema Sen. It has been choreographed by Sivashankar (choreographer of Manmadharasa...song).“We shot this song for 20 days at a Hyderabad studio, as it is of a classical dance format that may have existed in the seventh century.Only Sivashankar could choreograph it. He will be performing this number live at the audio launch,” says Selva.
  The director is confident that the music will work with today’s audiences. Adds Selva,“ The relationship between a filmmaker and a music director is of paramount importance when it comes to producing good music.GV sacrificed a lot by refusing six other films when he was composing for my film and spent quality time on it.We have done the initial mixing at a studio in Mumbai and mastering in Austria. The final mix has been done in London. GV has proved that he is the ‘Little Master’ and is going to be a major force in Tamil film music.” WHAT’S IN STORE The film’s audio is to be launched on June 14 in a grand fashion and will feature several cultural items including a Singari Melam performance by an allwomen troupe from Kerala. It will also feature a Makossa dance performance by Nigerian artistes, who will be brought here by the Nigerian cultural minister.

  Excerpts from Aayirathil Oruvan press meet
  By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 10 June , 2009, 17:20
  
  
  More than two years after he started his Aayirathil Oruvan, Selvaraghavan and producer R.Ravendran of Dream Valley Films held their first ever press conference at Accord Metropolitan in Chennai on Wednesday morning.
  
  Those present on the occasion included director Selvaraghavan, music director GV Prakash, cameraman Ramji, editor Kola Bhaskar, choreographer Sivasankar, artists Parthipan, Karthi, and Andrea. Reema Sen was conspicuous by her absence.
  
  Director Selvaraghavan explained : ‘With Aayirathil oruvan I have tried a new genre in Tamil cinema. It is a fantasy adventure, one of the most difficult genres to work on. I was at ease Well, I felt more comfortable while penning the script. But things were much on contrastive grounds as I stepped onto the floors. Filming this project with 2000 junior artists from various regional backgrounds was the most risky thing that a filmmaker can go through.’
  
  He also added, “I shot the film for over 200 days, as there were thousands of junior artists involved and plenty of graphics and special effects. Although, the genre of Fantasy-Adventure is far-famed in World Cinema, it’s something new to Tamil film industry as none have attempted it here.”
  
  Earlier the film’s budget was planned to be Rs. 15 Crores and finally it will be around Rs 32 crore on the releasing day. Cinematographer Ramji’s each and every frame would surely get audiences approval and will be talked about.”
  
  Says Karthi: “As soon I completed Paruthiveeran , I got a surprise call from Selvaraghavan who had plans about making a romantic film with me. Later, he found it to be clichéd and geared up for this unparalleled genre. It’s a beautiful film that will entertain audience from every class and especially kids would enjoy watching this extravaganza.”
  
  Added Andrea: “It has been a experience of lifetime for me”. Music Director G.V. Prakash says: ‘As the film’s genre happens to be new, the music too will be innovative. We’ve tried using some of the ancient instruments from world music. The album has 10 songs and additional features would be the background score.”
  
  Parthiban: ‘I am not supposed to reveal anything about my character, and Selva during the dubbing saw to it that only what I had to dub was shown to me! Anyway it is a very interesting role.”

  Selvaraghavan's fantasy adventure Aayirathil Oruvan is getting ready. As Selva says: " It was a pain making the film, and if I'm given another opportunity I will never make a film in the same genre. It took over two years to complete." Selva shot the film for 252 days, as more than 2000 junior artists were required in some of the scenes in the film which was shot in five different locations spread over India. The film will cost Rs 32 crore approximately by the day of release for its patient and determined producer R.Ravendran. The film has Reema Sen, Andrea, Karthi and Parthipan in the lead, has music by GV Prakash and has been shot painstakingly by cameraman Ramji. The epic has been made by Selva on the lines of a Lord of the Rings or a Mackennas Gold

  Selvaraghavan’s super show
  By Moviebuzz | Monday, 15 June , 2009, 10:35
  http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14894023
  
  The audio launch of Selva Raghavan’s Aayirathil Oruvan was one of the best launches in recent time.
  
  There were no tall claims made by the director and the launch function itself was unique in many ways.
  
  Selva in his note to the media said: “This is not a genre film. I wanted to make this film, because I have not made a film like this ever. Aayirathil Oruvan is truly every man’s story…but it happens only to one man in a million.”
  
  The highlight of the function was that four of the 10 songs in the album were performed live on stage by G.V Prakash and his team along with the singers who sang in the film.
  
  Selva and music director GV Prakash made it point to have only south Indian singers like Karthik, Vijay Yesudas, Andrea, Nithyasree Mahadevan, Dhanush and Aishwarya Dhanush to sing for the film.
  
  The novelty of the show lied in the fact that even the audio launch had a story board. Right form the invite card that resembled like a manuscript, the ambience, music, the audio CD which was brought to the dais on a palanquin, everything was classy.
  
  For the first time ever, no trailer or a clipping including song from the film or its making was shown to the invitees. This has actually stirred a curiosity around the film, as Selva was able to keep the look of the film shrouded in a mystery.
  
  The live performance of GV Prakash was the highlight of the evening. GV as he is known among friends became the third and youngest music director to perform live on stage after Ilayaraja and AR Rahman. In fact AR Rahman’s mother Kareema Begum along with her daughters was present to cheer him.
  
  Another outstanding performance came from actor Dhanush and his wife who sang the peppy number Un Mele Aasadhaan… along with Andrea. There was a fashion show, a Kalari performance, Chenda melam by women from Kerala, a classical dance by actress Poorna choreographed by Sivasankar master.
  
  Selva Raghavan preferred to keep a low profile as he sat with his wife Sonia among the audience and enjoyed the show. Later in his thanksgiving speech he said: “Everyone in the film including the producer, actors, cameraman and myself have worked hard to reach the next level but the real heroes I would like to thank are the hundreds of junior artists who worked 252 days in different locations with a smiling face. I want to do more films in Tamil and do not intend to go to Bollywood”.

  இந்த இசைக் கூட்டணியில் பணப் பிரச்சனை அபஸ்வரத்தை கிளப்பியது யாரும் எதிர்பார்க்காத திடீர் திருப்பம். ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவன் படத்திலிருந்து யுவனை அதிரடியாக நீக்கினார் செல்வா. அவர் இசையமைத்த இரு பாடல்களும் படத்திலிருந்தே நீக்கப்பட்டன. இனி இணையவே முடியாது என இருவரும் தனித்தனியே அறிக்கை வேறு விட்டனர்.
  
  இந்நிலையில் சென்னை பல்கலைக்கழகத்தின் நூற்றாண்டு விழா அரங்கில் நடந்த ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவன் ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டு விழாவில் யுவனைப் பார்த்தவர்களுக்கு இனிய அதிர்ச்சி. மேடையிலேயே அமர வைத்திருந்தனர் யுவனை.
  
  ஒன்றிணையமாட்டார்கள் என்று நிரைனத்தவர்கள் ஒரே மேடையில் தோன்றியதில் சில நல்ல உள்ளங்களுக்கு ஆனந்தத்தில் அழுகையே வந்துவிட்டது. செல்வாவின் அடுத்தப் படமான இது மாலை நேரத்து மயக்கத்துக்கும் ‌ஜி.வி. பிரகாஷ்குமாரே இசையமைக்கிறார். அதற்கு அடுத்தப் படத்தில் மீண்டும் செல்வா, யுவன் கூட்டணி இணையும் என்கிறார்கள் இந்த திடீர் சந்திப்பைப் பார்த்தவர்கள்.
  
  விழாவின் ஹைலைட் தனுஷ், ஐஸ்வர்யா நடனம். இருவரும் இணைந்து ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவனில் ஒரு பாடல் பாடியுள்ளனர். இந்தப் பாடலை மேடையில் பாடியபடியே இருவரும் ஆட, அப்ளாஸ் அள்ளியது. முன்னதாக படத்தின் சிடியை ஷங்கர் வெளியிட பாக்யரா‌ஜ் பெற்றுக் கொண்டார்.
  
  படத்தின் ஆடியயோ சிடி-யுடன் ஒரு ப‌ரிசு கூப்பனும் தருகிறார்கள். சிடி-‌யிலுள்ள பத்து பாடல்களில் ஆறு பாடல்கள் மட்டுமே படத்தில் இடம்பெறுகிறது. அந்தப் பாடல்கள் எவை என்பதை ச‌ரியாகக் கணித்துச் சொல்கிறவர்களுக்கு ப‌ரிசு.
  
  என்ன ப‌ரிசு என்பதையும் நீங்களே தேர்வு செய்து கொள்ளலாம். பெற்றோருக்கு பென்சன், சகோதர, சகோத‌ரிக்கு திருமண உதவி, படிப்பு‌ச் செலவு, ஈழத் தமிழருக்கு நிவாரண உதவி, உறவினருக்கோ, உங்களுக்கோ மருத்துவ செலவு என ஐந்து சாய்ஸ்கள். எதை வேண்டுமானாலும் டிக் செய்யலாம். போட்டியிலும் வித்தியாசமாகவே சிந்தித்திருக்கிறார் செல்வராகவன்.

  'Idhu Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam' dropped
  IndiaGlitz [Saturday, June 20, 2009]
  
  Looks like the quickie project that director Selva Raghavan planned with brother Dhanush, ‘Idhu Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam’, has been dropped.
  
  Andrea’s statement that ‘Idhu Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam’, which has her and Dhanush in the lead, will not happen anytime now, seems to be right.
  
  And the reason for this: Selva already has his next two years full with projects in other languages. Following ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’, which took a full two years to be completed, the director is said to be committed to do a film each in Telugu and Hindi. Both were prior commitments, and the director is said to have planned to complete them before he takes on his next project, which could have either Vikram or Dhanush in the lead.
  
  Vikram, meanwhile, is said to be planning his next flick after ‘Raavana’ with director KS Ravikumar. This film will be produced by Mohan Natrajan and it is said that the film will be shot completely in Ireland.

  Quote:

  Sony Music throws AO audio success party! By Moviebuzz | Sunday, 21 June , 2009, 11:34 Sony Music threw a big bash, to celebrate the success of the music of Aayirathil Oruvan at GRT Convention centre. It was unique in many ways as only Radio Jockeys and production team from all FM stations in Chennai were invited for the event. The Aayirathil Oruvan team of Selva Raghavan, GV Prakash, Parthipan, Andrea, Ramji and producer R.Ravindran were there along with the Sony Music team. The music of the film has been appreciated by the critics and it is selling very well. It started with a session of Q & A to the Radio media- What would you do if you wereAayirathil Oruvan? The best reply was from an RJ who said: “I will have Andrea and Reemma on either side!” Three songs from the film were performed on stage, by professional dancers. Andrea hogged the show in her body hugging black off shoulder dress. She was in her elements and seems to be enjoying the evening as she was the cynosure of all eyes. The views expressed in the article are the author's and not of Sify.com.

  Aayirathil Oruvan snippets
  June 25, 2009
  
  With its release date drawing closer, Aayirathil Oruvan is topping the coffee table discussions all over. To add to the excitement, Selvaraghavan’s announcement about the movie being his nightmarish experience for the sheer volume of junior artistes has also kindled some fire.
  
  Parthiban and Karthi’s roles are said to be on par with each other and both of them have pushed the envelopes to impressive levels, according to a source that has had the first look of the movie. The movie starts in the 21st century and heads backwards to stone ages where Parthiban plays the king. It’s also learnt that while the first-half will be Karthi’s dominance, the second-half is completely owned by Parthiban. Aayirathil Oruvan is releasing in the month of July.

  சிக்கலில் ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவன்?
  புதிய முயற்சிக்கு முதலில் கைகொடுக்கத் தயங்குவதும், அந்த முயற்சி வெற்றி பெறுவது போலத் தெரிந்தால் சொந்தம் கொண்டாட ஓடி வருவதும் தமிழ் சினிமாவுக்குப் புதுசா என்ன!
  
  அந்த வகையில், 32 கோடி ரூபாய் செலவில் படமாக்கப்பட்ட புதுமையான படம் என செல்வராகவன் வர்ணித்த ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவனை வாங்க விநியோகஸ்தர்கள் தயக்கம் காட்டுகிறார்கள் என்பதுதான் கோடம்பாக்கத்தின் லேட்டஸ்ட் பேச்சு.
  
  கார்த்தி, ரீமா சென் ஆகியோர் முக்கிய பாத்திரம் ஏற்று நடிக்க பார்த்திபன், ஆண்ட்ரியா ஆகியோர் கௌரவ வேடங்களில் நடித்துள்ளனர்.
  
  ஆனால், இந்தப் படம் வழக்கமான செல்வராகவன் டைப் காதல் படம் இல்லை என்பதே பல விநியோகஸ்தர்களின் குற்றச்சாட்டாக உள்ளதாம். (இப்படித்தான் படம் எடுக்க வேண்டும் என இயக்குநரையே நிர்பந்திக்கும் விநியோகஸ்தர்களை இங்குதான் பார்க்க முடியும்!)
  
  'சரித்திரப் படமாக ஆரம்பிக்கும் இந்தக் கதை, மக்களை எந்த அளவு கவரும் என கணிக்க முடியாததால், இந்த நெருக்கடியான சூழலில் இருக்கிற பணத்தைத் தொலைக்காமல் இருந்தால் போதும் என்ற முடிவோடு அமைதி காக்கிறோம்', என்றார் ஒரு விநியோகஸ்தர்.
  
  இதனால் ஆடியோ வெளியாகி ஒருமாதமான பிறகும் படத்தின் தயாரிப்பாளர் ரவீந்திரனால் ரிலீஸ் குறித்து ஏதும் திட்டவட்டமாகச் சொல்ல முடியவில்லை.
  
  எனவே தனது சிறிய பட்ஜெட் படமான வாமனனை இப்போதைக்கு ரிலீஸ் செய்யும் தீவிரத்தில் உள்ளார் ரவீந்திரன்.
  
  இருக்கிற டிவி சேனல்களும் படத்தை அடிமாட்டு விலைக்கு கேட்பதால் சொந்தமாகவே ரிலீஸ் செய்யலாமா என்ற யோசனையில் இருக்கிறாராம் தயாரிப்பாளர்.

  Kanthaswamy pushes back Aayirathil Oruvan
  July 14, 2009
  
  With the release date of Kanthaswamy finalized to August 7th, the Aayirathil Oruvan team has decided to hold back their film. AO was originally scheduled to be released during the end of July but the release date was once again postponed to ensure that it does not get eclipsed by Vikram’s Kanthaswamy.
  
  However, Madhavan’s Naan Aval Adhu will hit the marquee as planned at July end. Yet another strong competitor for AO happens to be Unnai Pol Oruvan. This Kamal Haasan’s flick is also expected to be released during mid August.

  Ayirathil Oruvan in color or black and white? July 28, 2009 Ayirathil Oruvan is a film that travels through the time. While it is not a full-fledged period film, a major part of the story happens in the 17th century. Usually, when shooting such portions it is well known that the directors use a yellow tint to demarcate it from the scenes that happen in the present. But, cameraman Ramji has not used this method for his AO. In fact Ramji has retained these scenes as it was shot, without using any artificial lights. Moreover, the cameraman has used natural lighting for canning a few scenes, so much so that the viewers will not be able to differentiate if the scene was shot in color or black and white. http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/july-09-04/ayirathil-oruvan-28-07-09.html

  August 11, 2009
  
  Director Selvaraghavan’s Aayirathil Oruvan will soon be released after a long time spent in making. While there are many speculations about its storyline and theme, it is generally being thought in the industry that it revolves around fantasy. Now insiders reveal that the first half is centered on fantasy while the second half deals with a very powerful social issue.
  
  The movie is also said to be filmed in different terrains. Its journey begins in the streets of Chennai, meanders around the sandy deserts of Rajasthan, roams in the dense jungles of Kerala and surfs the rough waves of Puducherry. This magnum opus of Selva is alleged to be a milestone in Indian cinema on a completely different topography.

  Aayirathil Oruvan for Christmas?
  By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 15 October , 2009, 11:25
  
  
  The next big release after Diwali is likely to be Selvaraghavan’s long in the making Aayirathil Oruvan featuring Karthi, Reema Sen and Andrea.
  
  GV Prakash is doing the re-recording of the film which is going on at the moment. The buzz is that Selva has cut the down the film on the editing table to 2 hours and 45 minutes, though he had shot enough rolls to do a two part film.
  
  The producer of the film R Raveendran of Dream Valley has assured the trade that it will make it to the theatres before the end of the year most likely for Christmas or earlier on November 27.
  
  It will enable the film to get a solo opening which will be advantageous.
  
  The music of the film by GV Prakash is still topping the charts. Recently producer and director Lingusamy who had plans to release his Karthi- Tamannaah starrer Paiyya in December has confirmed that he will release his film only after Aayirathil Oruvan.

  Quote:

  'Aayirathil Oruvan': Karthi has to do it again Actor KarthiEven before completing ' Aayirathil Oruvan', Selvaa has reportedly moved ahead to his next film starring 'Chiyaan' Vikram in the lead. Producer Ravindaran, on his part, had gone ahead and finished all the technical work and has even managed to produce the much-awaited 'first copy'. Sources say that so much of money has been spent for graphics-sequences in the film. In a particular sequence in the film, Selvaraghavan wanted hero Karthi to rum amid 100,000 snakes (wow!). Fortunately for Karthi, Selvaa had decided to do in using computer graphics. When graphics experts sat together to conjure up the sequence on-screen, they found Karthi's expressions missing in the portion that had already been shot. When Karthi runs among snakes, his feet would naturally stumble on a couple of snakes and he should wince or express surprise. None of them was missing in the video-sequence and therefore, Selvaa had to re-shoot the sequence with Karthi's expressions intact. Only after these sequences were re-shot did Ad-Labs, in charge of graphics-sequences in the film, agree to bring on-screen the desired video sequence of Karthi running amid innumerable number of snakes with a bewildered expression on his face. Last heard, this particular sequence itself is said to have cost its producer a whopping Rs.4 crores! Can't help wondering why the same sequence couldn't have been shot with actual snakes which could have cost very little!

  Aayirathil Oruvan confirmed for Pongal!
  By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 08 December , 2009, 09:33
  
  
  Director Selvaraghavan and producer R Ravindran have confirmed that their Karthi- Reemma- Andrea- Parthipan extravaganza Aayirathil Oruvan, will make it for Pongal 2010.
  
  Newspaper ads have also started appearing announcing a Pongal release.
  
  In an interview, Selvaraghavan has said: “I guarantee 200 percent that the film will be ready for a Pongal 2010 release. All the CG and graphic work of the film is over. The re-recording will be over in the next two days and then the final mixing will start, as of now we will be censoring the film before Christmas and it will be the big Pongal release.”
  
  The contentious issue of two Karthi films- Aayirathil Oruvan & Paiyya releasing for Pongal has been amicably settled.
  
  Now the Lingusamy directed film will release only after a minimum 35 days after the release of the Selvaraghavan film.

  What they said of Aayirathil Oruvan! By Moviebuzz | Sunday, 13 December , 2009, 18:43 http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14923404 These are the comments of a few people who witnessed the Aayirathil Oruvan trailer and songs. Ramanarayanan : Awesome, visually attractive and looks great. Sivasakthi Pandian: It looks like a big budget extravaganza on the lines of a Hollywood film. VC Guhanathan: It’s mind blowing. Hat’s off to Selvaraghavan. Hansraj Saxena: It has the richness and grandeur of a big budget film Vetrimaran: Every film maker dreams of making such a film but Selvaraghavan has made it possible. It looks fresh and people are sure going to lap it up. KS Ravikumar: I will call Selvaraghavan, “sir” after seeing the stunning visuals. Reema looks even sexier than she was a few years back and Karthi rocks. Vairamuthu: Selvaraghavan can be put in the same pedestal as K Balachandar, Mani Ratnam and Shankar. Reema Sen: There is a lot of sweat, hard work and dedication gone into the making of this grand film. Karthi: The three years I have put into the film, shows on the screen. It is a great experience and I got a lot of self confidence doing the film. Parthipan: The trend is of English films simultaneously getting dubbed into Tamil like 2012 and turning out to be a hits. The trend will be reversed with Aayirathil Oruvan, which will first release in Tamil and later it will be dubbed into English! GV Prakash: The songs and picturisation by Selva is fantastic out of the world. I hope all the hard work that each and every person put into this film will pay rich dividends. Suriya: I’ m seeing a new, re-invented Reema Sen in the film. Karthi at times have have got frustrated doing the film, but the results that I saw on screen are worth the wait. I wish one day I could work with Selvaraghavan. Kamal Hassan: Suriya was whispering in my ear during the preview that it looks like it was worth the three years it took to make the film. I personally feel that any film can be made in six months if you work on your script for a year before venturing out for the shoot. If you have the determination you will succeed, there is nothing called luck for those who deserve it.

  //when i talk to a tamil guy behind pizza hut counter in english - is it peter?? i mean, both of us know tamil better than english and its a more effective medium of communication for both of us but still speak in a lesser effective English. or myself going to pizza hut is itself being peter . its a nice discussion to have since i have seen a post-modern like shift towards tamil roots in recent years. when i grew up in 90's - we all strived to be peters but now i feel its no longer "cool" to be a peter or is it still?//

  Aayirathil Oruvan Gets ‘A’ Certificate
  Saturday December 26, 2009
  
  Selvaraghavan’s ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ has been passed with ‘A’ Certificate by censor board. The members of CBFC had recently watched the film and were reportedly spellbound with the mind-boggling creation of grandiloquent style of filmmaking.
  
  According to the reports, the film seems to be brimmed with lots of war sequences and it was the sole reason for censoring with ‘A’ with no major cuts.
  
  The film has already raised everyone’s expectations with the sleek-n-stylish trailers persistently telecasted in all media channels. The trade analysts have already predicted for the film’s favourable results at box office

  Aayirathil Oruvan to get ‘A’ certificate?
  By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 29 December , 2009, 09:31
  
  
  According to sources in the Censor Board, Selvaraghavan’s magnum opus Aayirathil Oruvan is likely to get an ‘A’ certificate for its “violence in the second half”!
  
  However Selva and producer R Raveendran are refusing to accept the ‘A’ tag. There was a heated argument between the censor officials and the makers over the certification. Selva is willing to settle for a ‘UA’ certificate, but the board says the film has “trim the blood and gore in the second half”.
  
  The producers have no time to go to the Revising Committee (RC) as the film is scheduled for a January 14 release and theatres have already been booked. As per the grapevine the “highlight of the film is its war scene in the climax which is superbly executed, and if scenes are chopped it will rob the film of its story line and essence.”
  
  Those who saw the film are raving about it, and say “the grandeur and the fast paced narration, performances of Karthi, Reema and Parthipan and the shot composition of Selvaraghavan and cameraman Ramji are awesome.”
  
  So in all probability Selvaraghavan and producer R Raveendran will accept the film being given an ‘A’ certificate and get on with their preparation to give final polishing touches to AO, which has now become the hottest movie for Pongal.

  AO on 14 th Jan with 600 Prints
  

  Quote:

  Yes it is Ayirathil Oruvan. The censor is over with a A certificate. The film will be released for pongal with approximately 600 prints confirms producer Raveendran of Dream Valley corporation. The film directed by Selvaraghavan with Karthi, Andrea and Remma has been in production for quite a long time and a long awaited release by karthi fans after his stupendous performance in his debut film Paruthiveeran. Selvaraghavan is always known for his unique way of narrating the story. This film starts from the current period and goes back to the chola period. Sure Selvaraghavan would certainly give us a wonderful pongal treat.

  Aayirathil Oruvan’ gets ‘U/A’
  

  Quote:

  Selvaraghavan’s ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ is sure to gust a whiff of fresh air in Tamil cinema. Trailer of this action adventure has already created a swirl of anticipation among the audience. The film is expected to give a visual treat and take us across thick forests, water falls, deserts, and ancient ruins as shown in the trailer and songs. Technically rich, ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ is expected to take Tamil cinema to the next level. The fresh news we hear about ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ is that it has earned a ‘U/A’ with few cuts. To everyone’s relief, this action adventure has passed the sharp scissors of the censor board with a few adjustments. Earlier rumour mills were abuzz that the film might possibly take home ‘A’ certification for the violence in its second half. We also heard that Selva was not happy about this and is fighting it out for a ‘UA’ positively by all means. On the other had the producers of the film were not ready to wait any longer and are keen to release the film for Pongal.

  The film’s producer Raveendran says that all the censor board officials that watched the film praised the performance of Karthi, Parthiban and Reema. He added that AO will be released worldwide with about 600 prints. "

  Selva’s Aayirathil Oruvan sold for 35 C!
  
  

  Quote:

  R Ravindran of Dream Valley Corporation, producer of Aayirathil Oruvan seems to have realized his dreams. The market buzz is that the Selvaraghavan directed epic has been sold worldwide for a whopping Rs 35 crore. The price is for theatrical, television and other rights. After the producer screened the trailer and songs, the film became red hot in the trade. Selva has made it really slick and inviting. The ordinary viewer who has nothing to do with the trade were shown some scenes of the film, in a test marketing and all of them were unanimous that it was awesome. Once the word spread, Ravindran and his team were flooded with offers and rumours has it that a leading distributor has snapped up NSC area for a record Rs 7 crore, a price you have to pay for a big superstar film. Please note Aayirathil Oruvan has no big stars, and is hero Karthi’s second release.

  AAYIRATHIL ORUVAN STAYED
  
  Aayirathil Oruvan has stumbled into yet another roadblock. At a time when all the movie buffs are eagerly awaiting the release of the film for Pongal, the news about the stay order, procured by Salem Chandrasekar, who had produced Ghajini, has come as a dampener.
  
  According to the plaintiff Chandrasekar, he had given Rs. 2 crores to director Selvaraghavan for directing the film Kasimedu in the year 2004. However, Selvaraghavan failed to commence the project and eventually moved on to AO. On a complaint to the Producers’ Council in 2006, Selvaraghavan and AO Producer Raveendran were ordered to return the amount. While a part of the amount has been returned, the duo had said that the remaining will be returned at the time of the film’s release.
  
  With the impending release, Chandrasekar has sought a stay order on AO release until he gets his due back. The court has stayed the release on AO till January 20th. An out of court settlement is being worked out by both the parties.

  Verdict, from a website!
  
  Overall, its a good watch-probably just once for someone like me, maybe folks elsewhere may like it better. The hard work gone into the movie is evident and the output justifies the efforts. My only crib is that, its good not awesome. If I were to rate it, I would probably go for a 3.5/5 for this one.
  
  Aayirathil Oruvan – not bad, not great.

  Selvaraghavan’s two years in the making, action adventure Aayirathil Oruvan is a brave attempt at trying to come out with something new in the placid world of Tamil cinema. Breaking away from the shackles of the stereotypes, the director transports us to a whole new world and at the end of it all, we are dumb stuck by the visuals, the packaging and the new way of storytelling.
  
  The film has a terrific first half with a basic thread, comedy, action, eye catching song picturisation, stunning visuals and grandeur. The film combines ultra-violent action with murky mysticism. The Government appoints a secret team led by archaeologist Anitha Pandian (Reemma) and a military officer Ravi (Azhagamperumal) to track down the missing links after a scientist and archaeologist (Pratap Pothen) vanishes into thin air while he was on his mission to discover the lost Chola civilization!
  
  To help them reach the lost city, Lavanya, daughter of the missing archaeologist is roped in for the mission. And helping the group to carry their belongings through the rough and tough jungle terrain and sea is the Coolie gang led by Muthu (Karthi), a boorish, uncouth, foul mouthed guy with roving eyes. They go through some of the most inhospitable terrain full of hidden danger and nature’s fury.
  
  Suddenly after a tedious expedition, they stumble on the lost Chola civilization and its king (Parthipan) and find unexplained links between them and the world’s earliest culture. What follows is a series of happenings that will leave you glued to the screen.
  
  The subtle message that Selva tries to convey is that a group of people cut away from civilisation, struck with poverty and knowledge is far superior to the present generation who lack values, culture or basic human kindness. All this leads to some unexpected twists and turns in the climax till you find that history repeats once again as Muthu rescues and run away with the King’s son to the darkness, like what happened centuries back!
  
  Aayirathil Oruvan starts with a bang, but it doesn’t unfold quickly. The second half looks like another film and there are long gaps of silence in the climax which will make an ordinary viewer restless. Directing an interweaving screenplay, Selva’s narrative structure bursts with sporadic agility along with top class camera work by Ramji.
  
  GV Prakash’s background score and his music is tangy. Un Mela Aasadhan.. sung by Dhanush, Aishwarya Dhanush and Andrea and picturised on the lead trio is a rocker. The remixed old MGR song on Karthi and the coolies is a treat.
  
  Reemma brings an uninhibited joie to her role as Anitha and thanks to the ability of the director has extracted a fine performance from her. Andrea is likeable and seems to have enjoyed doing the film. Parthipan is adequate as the king. But it is Karthi, who is a scream. Right from his introduction scene till the end, he is lovable and provides humour. Actually Karthi with his punchlines is getting the loudest claps as the crazy MGR fan and has made a sensational comeback three years after his debut film.
  
  The film has to be seen in the right perspective. Selvaraghavan is trying to explore the frontiers of commercial cinema. For this alone he should be applauded.
  
  Verdict: Engaging

  heard that the movie is average... SR wanted to bring in so many aspects but finally could'nt touch none in detail it seems. Moreover, Karthi spoilt the show with his paruthi veeran like histrionics. This was the review from my colleague who watched it FDFS.

  Aayirathil Oruvan – Terrific disappointment
  
  Banner: Dream Valley Entertainment
  Production: R Ravendran
  Direction: Selvaraghavan
  Star-casts: Karthi, Andrea, Reema Sen, Parthiban, Prathap Pothan, Azhagam Perumal and others.
  Music: G.V. Prakash
  
  If 2009 wasn't a promising year for Tamil film industry, the same situation is persists with the Pongal releases as well. When the other release 'Naanayam' is a below average fare, 'Aayirathil Oruvan' disappoints us.
  
  The first half (92mins) is filled with usual Selvaraghavan factors like – double entendres, profanity and some more elements patently meant for winning the applause of frontbenchers and 'C' class audiences. As the tale proceeds towards the second half, it's a pathetic scenario as Selvaraghavan stumbles.
  
  First things first: we need to appreciate Selvaraghavan for conceptualizing a good tale of fiction. But he should’ve have pulled the names of two dynasties for the sake of attracting audiences (Though he screens a disclaimer that the film is not based on factual history of Chola dynasty, it cannot be entertained).
  
  An archeologist (Prathap Pothan) is lost somewhere in a never-never land where the world believes that it was once a land ruled by Chola Kingdom. Sooner, his daughter (Andrea) an archeologist by profession, a forest officer (Reema Sen) and her team of armed defense groups are set out to unravel the mystery behind his loss.
  
  To make sure that their journey through the untouched lands is comfortable, they hire local coolies lead by Sugumaran (Karthi). Soon the journey begins and it turns to be tougher than the team had actually predicted.
  
  At the point of intermission, adventures literally transcend towards fantasy, thereby unraveling the hidden mysteries of preexisting dynasties of Chola and Pandian.
  
  Let's start off with analysis on directorial aspects….
  
  Having set in the backdrops of a different genre, Selvaraghavan should've have neatly included the quotients that are essential to engross the audiences. But he seems to have made wrong perceptions altogether. As mentioned earlier, the first half is completely comprised with 'Adult themes', which is likely to be resent by family audiences and must-to-avoid for kids. Nonetheless in the second half, nothing seems to be termed as ‘perfect picture’ as the story shifts to darker side, where there’s nothing left for enjoyable vistas.
  
  Musical score by G.V. Prakash is brilliant, especially with his background score. Cinematography by Ramji is good piece of artwork while Computer generated graphic works doesn’t engross us.
  
  To mark our verdicts, 'Aayirathil Oruvan' being churned out at 35Crores is a godforsaken film and it may not be surefooted winner at box office.
  
  Verdict: Not worth watching
  Rating: 2/5

  Sivaji is not pretending to be 'great' film. It does not ask to be taken seriously - like PudhuppEttai did. If someone likes watching Rajinikanth on screen there are several enjoyable moments in Sivaji for him. Why is this so difficult to get ?

  Why should we 'adjust and encourage' ? When then do we thoroughly enjoy. For me, the last time was 6 years - to the day. Even that man - I think is not going to bother making such movies anymore. Perhaps that is because we all 'adjust and encourage'.

  I expect it will be bad.I am only saying I am not surprised by the negative reviews. Not interested in watching. That is all I am saying.
  
  Are you going to watch nANayam by Sibiraj ? Rajniti starring Katrina Kaif ?
  
  And needless to say, if I end up watching (team outing-nu oNNu edhukku irukku) if I end up liking it I am going to eat my words. I know this is going to further rub you the wrong way, but that is the example of a movie I went in thinking I will dislike and ended up finding it not bad at all: VaaraNam aayiram.
  
  Still reading ?..great.

  I find the reason curious. That we should watch the movie because it is 'different'.

  Nothing in the previous works/ promos/songs/ interviews hs helped building such a trust. That is all.
  
  What happened last time was he was lauded for 'depth' and 'finesse' that left me baffled as in 'naan sariyA thaan pEsurEnA'. That has kinda already happened with thaai thinRa maNNE. The song has already been lauded - particularly the lyrics - which I find quite embarassingly shoddy.
  
  Once again, I'll only be glad to be proven wrong. I don't know how to say this without sounding phony.

  பண்டைய சோழர்கள் இருந்த இடத்தைத் தேடிச் செல்லும் அகழ்வாராய்ச்சியாளர் பிரதாப் போத்தனைக் காணவில்லை. அவரைத் தேடும் குழுவின் தலைமையாய் ரீமாசென் பலத்த பாதுகாப்போடு கிளம்புகிறார். கூடவே பிரதாப் போத்தனின் மகள் ஆண்ட்ரியாவையும் (அவரும் தொல்பொருள் ஆராய்ச்சித் துறையிலிருக்கிறார்) அழைத்துச் செல்கிறார். வியட்நாம் அருகே இருக்கும் அந்த இடத்திற்கு கப்பலில் செல்லும்போது உதவியாளர்களார் கார்த்தி தலைமையிலான கோஷ்டி வருகிறது.
  
  
  
  கப்பலிலிருந்து மாறி, இவர்கள் செல்லும் படகு ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட இடத்தை அடைந்ததும் படகோட்டிகள் எத்தனை கொடுத்தாலும் இதற்கு மேல் வரமுடியாது என்று போய்விட, இவர்களே படகைச் செலுத்தி கரை நோக்கி செல்கிறார்கள்.
  
  கரையை அடையுமுன்னே, கடலிலிருந்து வரும் ஒரு ஜந்து இவர்களை சாரமாரியாகத் தாக்க, பலர் மடிந்து விழ.. போகுமிடத்தின் விபரீதம் புரிய ஆரம்பிக்கிறது.
  
  ஓலைச்சுவடியின் செய்தி மூலம், அந்த இடத்தை அடையுமுன் இதுபோன்ற ஏழு தடங்கல்களை இவர்கள் கடக்க வேண்டும் என்றறிகிறார் ஆண்ட்ரியா. பலவித சிக்கல்களுக்குப் பிறகு, கடந்து சோழர்கள் இருந்த இடத்தை கார்த்தி, ரீமா, ஆண்ட்ரியா அடைகிறார்கள்.
  
  அங்கே...
  
  அந்த சோழர் பரம்பரை வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள்!
  
  அதன்பிறகு என்ன நடந்தது.. தஞ்சை மண்ணைத் தொட வேண்டும் என்று ஆண்டாண்டு காலமாய் காத்திருந்த அந்த சோழர்கள் ஆசை நிறைவேறியதா என்பதையெல்லாம் திரையில் கண்டு களியுங்கள்.
  
  
  கொஞ்சம் சிக்கலான திரைக்கதையால் பலருக்கும் புரியாத வண்ணம் இருப்பதுதான் படத்தின் மைனஸ். அதுவும் படத்தில் பல இடங்களில் பின்நவீனத்துவம் புகுந்து விளையாடியிருகிறது!
  
  படத்தின் ஹீரோ சத்தியமாக ரீமா சென்தான்! கார்த்திக்கு வேலையே இல்லை. படத்தில் ஹெல்பர் கேரக்டரில் வருகிறார். அவர் வேலையும் படத்தில் அது்தான். ஹீரோவாச்சே என்று கடைசியில் அவரை சோழர்களைக் காக்க வந்த
  தூதுவராய்க் காட்டியிருக்கிறார்கள்
  
  
  ரீமா சென். ரம்யா கிருஷ்ணனுக்கு படையப்பா மாதிரி ரீமாவுக்கு ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவன். எந்த நடிகையும் நடிக்கத் தயங்கும் பல காட்சிகளில் புகுந்து விளையாடியிருக்கிறார். பிரதாப் போத்தனைக் கண்டுபிடிக்க இவர் ஏன் பிரயத்தனப்படுகிறாரென்று பார்த்தால், இவர் சோழர்களைப் பழிவாங்க வந்த பாண்டிய வம்சத்தவர்!
  
  
  
  
  
  மன்னர் பார்த்திபன் (ஆம். ஆர். பார்த்திபன்) & கார்த்தி தலைமையில் சோழர்களுக்கும், அதிரடிப்படைக்கும் நடக்கும் போர் - தமிழ்சினிமாவிற்கு புதுசு. அந்தப் போர் முறையும், அதைப் படமாக்கிய விதமும் - ராம்ஜியின் கேமராவுக்கு வாழ்த்துகள்.
  
  படத்தில் பாராட்டப்பட வேண்டிய மற்ற இருவர்: காஸ்ட்யூம் டிசைனர் இரம் அலி. ஆர்ட் டைரக்டர் சந்தானம். பண்டைய காலம், பண்டைய காலத்தவர்கள் இன்று வாழும் இடம் எல்லாவற்றையும் கண்முன் கொண்டு வந்து நிறுத்தியிருக்கிறார்கள்.
  
  சோழர்கால ஒவியம் மூலம் நடப்பதை கண்டறியும் யுத்தியும் அபாரம்.
  
  இசை:- வழக்கமாய் யுவனோடு கைகோர்க்கும் இவர், இப்போது ஜீ.வி.ப்ரகாஷ்குமாரோடு கைகோர்த்திருக்கிறார். ‘ப்ரகாஷா? செல்வராகவன் படத்துக்கா?’ என்று கேட்டவர்களை ஏற்கனவே சிறப்பான பாடல்களால் வாயடைத்தார். படத்தில் நில்லாடிய சபையெங்கே என்று பார்த்திபன் பாட, ஒரு மாதிரி நெஞ்சையடைக்கிறது.
  
  பிடிபட்ட சோழ மக்களை அதிரடிப்படை கொடுமைப்படுத்துவதும், பார்த்திபனின் பாத்திரப்படைப்பும் இலங்கைத் தமிழர் நிலையைக் கண்முன் நிறுத்துகிறது.
  
  தயவு செய்து குழந்தைகளோடு பார்க்காதீர்கள். இது அவர்களுக்கான படமல்ல. அதேபோல சில பெண்களும் படத்தை வெறுக்கக் கூடும்.

  With Aayirathil Oruvan, Selvaraghavan has inadvertently opened the Pandora box of a new genre as yet unknown to Tamil movies – Zombies. It is the case of Pirates of the Carribean meets Dawn of the Death where the ancient Cholas, albeit with whatsoever no connection to the real Cholas as the disclaimer maintains, are reduced to dark-as-charcoal skinned tribesmen living in an unknown island in Vietnam, who are ready to gorge at raw flesh at the mere sight of it since they are starved.
  
  So the dark-skinned subjects largely set the tone of the movie and the darkness remains dominant throughout. There is blood and gore, but of a different kind: not the one that makes you squirm, but something that makes you gawk at.
  
  Thousands of years ago, when the Cholas were ousted from their homeland by the Pandias, their throne Prince was sent into exile to a secret location by the last Chola King. The Prince also carried with him a priceless statue of the Pandias. No efforts were fruitful at tracing the location and archeologists attempting the same simply disappear without a trace.
  
  Andrea's dad and archeologist Prathap Pothen vanishes into thin air in his attempt to unravel the mystery. In comes the archeologist-cum-gun-wielding-designer-sunglasses-sporting ultra modern chick Reema, employed by the Indian government to trace Pothen. Andrea, his daughter, obviously joins in and they employ Karthi and a gang of burly men as helps. Karthi looks as if he's stepped out of his Paruthiveeran sets to join Reema and Andrea in their quest.
  
  Their expedition unfurls nasty surprises after surprises - body-painted weirdos with strange weapons, quicksand, snakes. Lest we forget, there is also a cat fight between Reema and Andrea on the topic 'Karthi'. They finally reach the zombie land where Parthiban is the ruler whose raw-flesh-eating subjects take them into custody. Reema reveals her real self and exposes the self-centric purpose of her quest.
  
  
  Karthi has very little to spare for Aayirathil Oruvan. He plays the rustic help, who instantly falls for Reema and Andrea, who cracks witty one-liners much to our delight in the otherwise serious state of affairs. Being his forte, it comes much easier for him without even having to try.
  
  Despite having to mouth profound verses in ancient Tamil, Reema manages to only mime them with improper synchronization and it makes her appear as if she's in a Chinese movie. Andrea is multi-talented, but acting, sadly, is not one of those. But her meager dialogues in Madras Tamil are bang on otherwise.
  
  G V Prakash's music stands out in the 'Ommele Aasathaan' song and a word about the background score: it's a battle between the background score and the blood thirsty human screeches. We would've loved to write about Eerum Ali's costume designing if only Reema and Andrea were not strutting around in just one pair of satin-shirt-shorts-overalls and sleeveless top and baggies respectively. Karthi leaves no scope for Eerum squarely.
  
  Selva's frenziedly unleashed creativity makes you hallucinate towards the end of the movie and delirium sets in soon. It's not enough that a solid disclaimer is in place, a little bit of research about the subject would've helped things in the process. The underdeveloped script lacks everything - starting from strong plot twists to captive locations to graphics to credibility, above all.
  
  Aayirathil Oruvan also ends on a very scary end note: about the journey of the Chola prince continuing as Karthi takes up the mantle.
  
  Verdict: Wildly crass: attempt only if you are a Zombie fan!

  Guys... just back from the movie and these are the thoughts pondering over my mind are down into words.
  
  Avatar, gladiator, troy.. who cares? proud to be a tamil to witness everything tat hollywood does is now created by a tamilan. Be it visual effects, story line, acting. everything is massive. there are mixed reviews and also witnessed lots of funny comments in theatre. cos they expected selvaraghavan to be the same old gilu gilu gujaal guy.
  
  he took up a different challenge and proved himself successfully. it is an imaginary story but the lifestyle of cholas after exiled to a unknown place, acting of reema sen and parthiban, subsequent scenes are so practically made.Some interest in raja kaalathu kathai is needed to make urself comfortable on theatre and dont ever go by the reviews. do attempt once for the brave attempt of selvaraghavan. This one will definitely make us to do some google about our own past. Movie is for those who like and praise the diff attempts made by our directors.

  acting Parthiban rocks.. Karthi is great.. andrea is super.. reema exposes a bit too much IMHO.. over the top in many scenes
  
  BGM :AWESOME: GVP copy-o ennamo, music sense chanceless...
  
  the movie is gripping for most of the time..
  
  some scenes are excellently shot.. it really moves us.. some are slightly shoddy in graphics.. ok we can forgive them..
  
  good graphics for a tamil film with this subject.. story unfolds with many surprises..
  
  hard work shows on screen..
  tooo much of violence and gore... over the top at places.. not necessary at all..
  spoilers ahead.. but read it..
  
  writing is bad in many places.. ends up being weird and funny.. totally illogical scenes are there.. climax is a big let down though its well shot.. selva shudnt have added insane stuff in the script.. . ayyo its like laughable in some places.. final fight.. guns vs swords.. ethukku baa..

  This is the problem of most Selva films. It takes a dramatic turn, preferably with a "twist". 2nd half will be Gothic and unrequited compared to the brisker 1st.

  20 minutes of Aayirathil Oruvan trimmed!
  
  Finally better sense prevailed as 20 minutes of Selvaraghavan’s Aayirathil Oruvan has been cut by the makers of the film. It means now AO is only 2 hours and 45 minutes!
  
  Most cinema halls had shown 3 hours 5 minutes of the film for morning and noon shows. However from matinee onwards the new edited version is being shown. Some of the controversial scenes in the second half have now been trimmed.
  
  The latest we hear is that there will be sub titling in the second half of the film from Saturday (Jan 16). There was a feedback that nobody could understand the Tamil spoken in the Chola period shown in the second half of the film.

  The first half of AO is stunningly superb. Takes our breath away. Breathtaking visuals, graphics, Background score in some places, fast paced screenplay.
  
  Second half is incomplete and gives a feel that Selva couldn't take the story further with a good logic. Very confusing, unwanted scenes, dialogues, songs.
  
  But then, i wouldn't call it a trash as other websites reported. I sincerely appreciate the amount of hardwork that has gone in. Special mention to Graphics team.
  
  Karthi - Ok! There isn't a very good scope to perform, yet he has done the role with ease. Timing'la pindrAr pa. His romance with Andrea and some dialogues were
  
  Reema - First half ok. She has done a good job once the Chola period starts.
  
  Andrea - Kood.
  
  Cinematography and Graphics
  
  Background Score - Since we watched it in Mayajaal, I cannot much. Full volume vachittanunga padupaavinga... Head ache But still, I felt that GVP has gone overboard in BGM. Too loud and jarring. Few places were brilliant in first half, especially the one during the scene where the threesome land in a desert. Second half was fully loaded with background score which ultimately resulted in creating a Loud and Jarring effect. Overall BGM is not upto the mark as I expected a lot after listening to the AO album.
  
  Second half starts well but miserable fails to move on. So much of confusing, illogical and boring stuffs. Very less dialogues in second half.
  
  Even though the second half disappoints very much, it is not fair to call the entire movie a trash or 'to be avoided' stuff.

  Digression
  7GRC:
  I very rarely discontinue watching a dvd (ff, skip paNNiyAvadhu kambleet pAththuduvEn). This was one of the very few that I discarded midway and never revisited. So irritating and boring (worse than vAraNam Ayiram, which at least had the 'en iniya pon nilAvE' part well-done).
  
  End-digression
  
  So, never bothered to watch pudhuppEttai (which was also supposedly very violent and not a home-watchable-movie).

  PP was boring at many parts,. But still, some parts were very realistic and some scenes were very good. Techinicall that's a great movie. I like PP.
  
  7G - Certainly one of my favorite movies. But the movie isn't an evergreen. Though I would rate it as one of the best movies in recent years, if they play it now on TV or if I watch it on DVD, i would only watch the second half and the last 30 or 40 mins of the movie. First half romba bore adikkudhu ippo ellam RK - Good acting. But not a best choice. Sonia - vaai'yalaE bayangarama expression koduthuruppanga

  I was really impressed by GVP. Cha, ennama BGM pOtrukaaru. Karthi 1st half la semma galatta, 2nd half la avvalova scope illa Parthiban-ku romba hype kuduthaanga but vada pOche

  Maddy,
  I am with you.I quite liked 7/G Rainbow colony,Kathal kondein and Thulluvatho Ilamai(despite the unnecessary focus on Sherin's anatomy,it would have worked without that too).
  
  Saw the last 1/2 hour of Puthupettai yesterday on Jaya TV,got me interested enough to want to catch up with the full movie.Dhanush looked unsuitable for the part and the changing hairstyles was an eye sore.
  
  But I still think people are little unfairly severe on Selva.

  Fragments of thoughts on 7/G Rainbowy Colony from here:
  

  equanimus wrote:

  I must say, the most underwhelming Selvaraghavan film for me is easily 7/G Rainbow Colony. It had a very interesting premise (the normal story of a mediocre boy-next-door, which really had me hooked to the film), but I felt Selvaraghavan completely botched it up, making an "eternal love story" (or something to that effect) out of it. I recall Selvaraghavan talking at length about the relationship between a mediocre son and his father before the film's release, but the film puts all that in the backburn and goes all-out to contrive a love story between a high-class poNNu and a low-class paiyyan with several conveniently duh-inducing plot points. That's one film where I seem to stand all alone.

  
  

  equanimus wrote:

  I get what you mean, PR. That's how I hoped to access the film as well (firstu dhabA, stateu uttu stateu pOi pAththa padam ) -- a film that treats its "mediocre" protagonist with sensitivity and empathy. But somehow, I didn't come out impressed with it. I admit that the overblown climax did significantly offset my reaction to the film. But, even from some point in the middle of the film, I thought the film contrived several convenient plot points, to strike triumphalist notes for his love story. Sonia Agarwal's fiancé is a complete moron, her family is in distress, and so on. These are standard tropes (some of which even seem to be right out of porn aesthetics) which we see in several films to show how the "high-class" girl comes to fall in love with the "low-class" boy. This sort of triumphalism after establishing the character with rare sensitivity, bothered me. And, of course, the ennoblement of the love story, insistently attributing all his success to his love for her, was downright yawn-inducing. With all senses of irony lost.

  If this 'attempt' fails, we discourage all those who try to exploit what is never created in Indian cinema. At least for that sake, let it win. It shall or not be a classic, but it is definitely a trendsetter.
  
  

• From: Aalavanthan on Sat Jan 16 7:59:54 2010.

  Let's see..
  
  I went into this movie at 9 pm (as the earlier show was cancelled as the theatre used the aan paavam dialogue "second half potti varalaingo" ) with the known facts that when AO was announced, Selva had divorced his first wife in the form of Yuvan and during the making, his second "real" wife Sonia.
  
  At the end of the film, one thing came into my mind and it was Avatar. The reason for Avatar being reached by the crowds is that the director wrote a screenplay keeping in mind that the audience should love the new world. And eventually, we loved the world and we accepted Jake as the new avatar and the new Prince of Pandora.
  
  Aayirathil Oruvan is of the same genre, but Selva failed us to impress with his dark world. The reason being, we are left with characters struggling for 200 years under the dark and with the screams and sorrows of these Chozha characters. It takes a strong justification for us to accept Karthi as next "oruvan"..
  
  The director should have atleast gave us some glimpse of whats going to happen after intermission as before that "all izzz well" sort of theme. There were some people who raised their eye brows during the intermission itself as the three characters in the movie went bizaare before the interval.
  
  I think tamil directors should either cut short their movie to 2 hr or not allow to have intervals during their movies. I mean, it takes 1.5 hours for them to ooze the audience into the movie and it just takes 20 mins (during the interval) for our guys to go for a dum, piss and forget about the movie. I always think, during the interval, our minds change and we are not touched up with the movie and during the second half, its a fresh mind and evidently fresh movie.
  
  Finally, the story I thought was brilliant at the first place, but this is a media where the other departments are as important as story.
  Selva mentioned that tamil cinema needs 24 departments during his audio release and Kamal was much happy to hear this statement. But Selva needs to understand about one particular department and thats screenplay. I hope he had attended Kamal's screenplay guild or had a go at Sujatha's " thiraikadhai ezhudhuvadhu eppadi".
  
  When Spielberg was asked about the progress of one of his movies he said " up here(head) 99% is completed, and the rest is bringing it front of cameras and thats 1%"

  Exactly, even I liked the second half "story". I dont think any of the audience in my show was moved by the lyrics of Parthiban's singing and somewhere asking why Parthi and Reema were fighting at the first place. Thanks-nu tamil-la solra namma makkaluku andha dialogues ellam puriyumnu enaku nambikkaiyae illae.
  
  It was in a glimpse of seconds that Reema tells her part of the story on why she is there in the first place.. The real problem I thought was her unprepared dialogue delivery and the non-sync of audio with Mrs. Danush's voice in the Chozha period.
  
  I could speak much more about the screenplay and the " pesum padam" concept here but just wondering about the spoilers .. will wait for others to watch

  It's the same for me too. During the interval I was telling VR "Padam nalladhaane irukku. Appuram yen ivvalavu negative reviews". After the entry Chozhas, the film was on downward spiral and it never recovered. As a result, the disappointment was overwhelming when I came out of the theatre.

  I don't expect any film to be totally devoid of flaws. But the writing was unbelievably bad in the second half, IMO. The final battle with Reema & co dressed up as warriors
  
  I appreciate Selva for the attempt, but can't appreciate the film, just because he was daring to be different.

  Misunderstood. He has done research, chosen the right people, has not wasted his money, took time and tried to connect the dots in a convincing fashion. I mean, nowhere does he waste our time with useless flashbacks and other age-old methodologies. Flaws, are way too glaring, as Anban pointed out. Again, when someone is trying something which has never been done since Bhandhulu's time we don't have technical expertise. We have to excuse him. But well, cellphone sorta goofs could have been avoided. Making, is sure applause worthy.

  AO, at best is assortment of selvaraghavan's bizarre ideas........he has tried to create a world of his own with minimal reference/authenticity to chola/pandiya conflict.......the word "tried" is to be noted - nobody else tries, selva has tried - good, thats why we all watched it but does that alone make it a good movie??......the much appreciated first half was just pardonable to me - though it lost all sense of time,distance, space, physics, chemistry, biology - i could sense selva was easing us into his world.......as AV rightly pointed out, why 2 hrs for that?? ok, he doesent know where to stop himself just like other masters have done before.......fair enough.......
  
  we enter into selva's bizzare underground world in second half.......most fantasy-art movies, i have seen, have this extremely slow pace defining the rules, details for their world........Selva falls into this trap and the detailing wasnt jaw dropping.........i seriously doubt selva's ability to sketch a world of his own and put a convincing framework for it.....understood it is monetarily-challenged and hence visual-execution was awry but you cannot excuse the writing disability of second half.......film relies on "cliche" moments/sequences and ideas to move forward.......it did impact and disturb us but only with its contrived blood shed and gore.......apart from "war-crimes" like scenes, there were hardly any undertones referencing to real world issues - thats not a complaint anyways......history repeats itself - is what selvaraghavan was trying to say in his marathon narration - thats quite a disappointment because its just a black or white response to the entire story told......at the end of it, i could feel that i had watched 2 different movies in 1st and 2nd half which is never a good sign......
  
  there are traces of good writing, "pushing the envelope" characterisations like those of chozha clan or even the karthi/reema characters werent uni-dimensional......dialogues were quite good - witty at places....on the whole, this ends up as yet another indian film with lofty ambitions, minimal budget, average execution and focus diverted from writing.......
  
  but these factors, shouldnt alone make someone miss the movie.......it could strike a personal chord with some of you, the way selva tries to sketch his world and its events - something i felt for "No smoking"....give it a try......
  
  you guessed it right LM abt my opinion

  Yes, even I felt the same for Pudupettai also . It seems selva did not take a lesson from PP. And yes he had been confused how to move and end the move especially towards the climax. And again yes, he has failed in the climax which is pathetic. I am thinking how the film will be if the cholas won in the climax.

  There was a bit of remix stuff with the original song and even when MGR appeared on the screen, the remix bit was ON.. that was pretty cool that MGR dancing for a western beat ..

  Cheap double entrendres
  
  Parthiban audience was laughing and making comments abt him
  
  Graphics were bad - starting with the sea creatures.

  Almost the same reaction
  
  To start with One of the worst screenplay coming from a reasonably good director
  
  First half it was all karthi's Show.. he was quiet fluent in all his expressions and funny too. And looks like he is the best contender for the near future Super star Surya
  
  First half was real good though overdone with the characters. For a tamil movie, the visual effects have to be really applauded.
  
  Selva deserves kudos for not making quite conventional way of making cinema.
  
  But Again, in order for commercial aspects, through out the movie heroines mainly Reema, almost showing of everthing, that too when they were in search of something crossing sea, forest, etc All probably they had spoken all the bad words available shabaa
  
  And characterisation of karthi too.. Oru kooli ippadithaan kaevalamaa paesuvaannu eppadi ivangalaa mudivu panraangannu therila there is some reality but very much overdone.
  
  Second half, Selva did not had any clue on how to take the movie..
  
  Parthi's Character Intha padaththa paartha Chozhargal kooda kaattu miraandigal nnu jananga mudivu pannaama irunthaa sari..
  
  Viriginity checking, intercourse, etc, etc.. ithellaam decentavae kaatta mudiyaathaa. . it brings out extreme laughter in the theater..
  
  Needless and extended fights and making it worse is the behaviour of army men in the camp, nude dance, etc, etc, etc.. :angry: Kathari azhanum poala irunthathu

  They say Selva tried to show SL Tamils as Chola Kingdom, longing to regain their past glory. Tiger symbol of Cholas, says something-nu. I'm not convinced though the army torture scenes highly resemble the Lankan tortures, as the media portrayed.

  Between, i heard that there is a 1970s movie, where the same concept of Modern People with old kingdom was shown. Movie name theriyala Any idea guys?
  
  Story is something like this. two people go on for a world tour. One guy fixes the magnet in a place in the ship. The journey takes a turn and reaches some other destination. There a village of people who have not seen the modern world live. There comes a clash between them. Guess, those people belong to 2nd World war.

  Not at all. I found the current climax the best. Karthi, with the heir retracing the path. And, I actually feel Selva will write again (or for God's sake take a better writer) on the same lines. Its all mysterious yet. Nothing is over. Karthi is still walking with the Prince, Reema/Azhagamperumal are going behind him. Just that they recovered their treasure and the King is dead. The race still exists, right? Andrea, must have something, as well I guess. A part-2 if this one succeeds at the BO is what promises me.

  1.We must consider the difference in the mentallity of a software engineer and an army men.The conditions they work,the environment they work in and the work they do.They kill people(though for a nation) - can a software engineer kill people in cold blood?they might have lived amidst dead bodies...could s/w engineer do that?
  
  they ahve already crossed few borders of middle class morality unlike s/w engineers.
  
  2.next the ur analogy - here the girls are not someone u know before - infact they belong to a group who fights with u fiercely/strangers.
  
  Im not talking abt all army men here and the all the situations that they were in - but when everything is out of order - u cant explain that circumstance from a s/w engineer point of view.

  enna kodumai... everywhere military assaults on women are common. It is the same during historic times. Infact, going by the context of the story also, the Cholas defeated the Pandyas and chased them out to rule the place. Pandyas after the decline of Cholas by 14th century rose back to power. Here story stops around 1297 A.D for Cholas, which is quite true. After Rajendra Chola, there were no more powerful emperors in the dynasty. After retrieving the statue, they crave vengeance, Why not? All is fair in Hub and War.

  The example is just to say Portraying a set of group as bad is not in right mindset. That is it. i was basically talking on the lines within the environment the boundary we may cross,not exactly on the lines of the one shown in the movie or media.
  
  Say now let us come to army men point of view. if u are army men and under such circumstances u tend to do the same
  
  Bottom line is I could not agree on that portrayal.

  One in 1000:
  
  The first half was good. In fact quite entertaining. They could have made the film as a treasure hunt or at least as an adventure film instead of the one in which the film travels. The premise of the film as it is to say unbelievable is an understatement. Who at these times carries on the vengeance of 8 centuries??. Karthi has acted very well. The first song was very enjoyable. The latter half of the film tested everyone's patience. God knows why reema and co had to wear costumes before war. Watched in a theatre with full crowd capacity. Likewise they enjoyed the first half and hated the second half and may be the movie too. Selva you missed a very good chance.
  
  TM,
  
  You must be joking. Whatever that was shown of army men shows their track record. I am actually surprised that you question that!!. I do not disagree that those scenes may or may not be unwarranted in the film but since it is truth it gets my vote.

Not at all. I found the current climax the best. Karthi, with the heir retracing the path. And, I actually feel Selva will write again (or for God's sake take a better writer) on the same lines. Its all mysterious yet. Nothing is over. Karthi is still walking with the Prince, Reema/Azhagamperumal are going behind him. Just that they recovered their treasure and the King is dead. The race still exists, right? Andrea, must have something, as well I guess. A part-2 if this one succeeds at the BO is what promises me.

  ayyA.. 2nd half is genuinely twice as better. The way events progressed, the prophecy, the music, exactly how a lost empire and a dying crowd reacts... above all the last moments of Parthiban! I'm liking the climax even better than the last hour. Most sensible climax in recent times. Definitely will be the movie of the year I guess. Must wait for Nandhalaala or if at all, some surprise!

  People discovered it. I never thought of that perspective in the theatre. The movie was a rewarding experience. If anything which is half as good, technically has been created in Indian films, I'll give up arguing that AO is the best movie in recent times. SL tangent is one of the secondary reasons to like it. And, don't you think the base is very rich imagery? The only weak part is some 'strong' research. The thought-process is really good. Waiting for some HD DVD or something of that sort.

  Am surprised at the various posts talking about the weak historical research...
  Especially considering the fact that in the Vijay TV interview, selva explicitly said that he hopes that ppl will learn more about the rich glorious TN history after seeing this movie.
  Could it be that he got his facts from an alternative (but legit) source?

  Without denying most of the negative points discussed here ,I have no doubt ,this is the Tamil movie with most production and visual effort taken so far.

  Rest of the cast and for that matter characterisation is a joke. Parthiban's acting too gone waste. Luckily thanks to the interesting first half Karthi shines and he does his role with perfect easiness. An Actor to be watched for
  
  There is no doubt on the Visuals, the effort taken, moving away from the normal tamil cinema standards till the first half. Very Good!!.
  
  For sure Climax was inserted taking Srilankan issues.
  Like Venky says ellaathayum relate panrathu nallaathaan irukku. LM sonna katha thaan nyaabagam varuthu.. Avatar movie was taken by taking the story of Vietnam Colony movie
  
  Well it might be the case w.r.t second half. But what for? If you want to bring that separate movie aavae edukalaamae ethukku ippadi thelivaa sollaama sollanum.. antha alavukkaa thairiyam illaama poachchu
  
  Even if considering that is his idea, i am sure when originally designed this story 3/4 years before, that might not be the case. Between la nadantha happenings ellaam vachchi thiniccha onnaathaan thoanuthu.. So the end result is a big struggle on how to take the movie further and fails big time. Like how this thread started as review and related discussion probably might end in Srilankan issues being discussed. Smooth aa poara thread engayo poi intha padam maathiri aagaama irunthaa sari
  
  Already songs are being played in all channels. So nothing is well it seems.

  saw the movie last saturday.. could have been a better movie.. neverthless still it is a good movie ..yes the screenplay and the logic sucks at major parts.. but the visuals and the effort make up for that..
  I liked the movie (especially after coming out of the theater.. )
  
  might see it again after a week.
  
  IMO Instead of the climax fight, Selva could have shown the actual war happened between the chozas and paandiyas as flashback scenes.. and movie could have been an adventure film seeking to find the place where the last choza prince went and ended finding chozas are still alive and ruling that land...
  (but felt like Selva wanted to indirectly talk about the atrocities of IPKF and taking a dig at us.. suranai illama summa paarthukittu mattumthaan iruppomnu..)
  
  Choza thoothar/present day paadavas, they want revenge, athukku govt-a use panrathu etc ellam roomba puu suthura maathiri aakiduchu..

  படத்தின் கதை ,நடிப்பு ,இசை பற்றியெல்லாம் பலரும் அலசி விட்டார்கள் .என்னைப் பொறுத்தவரை ஒளிப்பதிவு ,அரங்க அமைப்பு ,காட்சி கோணங்களில் பிரம்மாண்டம் ..குறைந்தபட்சம் இவைகளில் இந்த படம் தமிழ்சினிமாவின் உச்சத்தை தொட்டிருக்கிறது. காட்சிகளின் நம்பகத்தன்மையை மட்டும் வைத்து முற்றிலும் நிராகரிப்பதை விட அந்த காட்சியை ஒருங்கிணைப்பதில் எடுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் உழைப்பை கருத்தில் கொள்வதும் முக்கியம் .அந்த வகையில் செல்வராகவன் கற்பனையில் தோன்றுவதை காட்சிப்படுத்தியதில் தமிழ் சினிமாவின் பொருளாதார வரைமுறைக்குட்பட்டு கொடுத்துள்ள பிம்பங்கள் கண்டிப்பாக பாராட்டுக்குரியவை. மீண்டும் 1000 கோடிகளை 30 கோடிகளுடன் ஒப்பிட்டு ஒற்றை வரியில் நிராகரிப்பது ஏற்புடையதல்ல.
  
  கார்த்தியின் உடம்பில் புலி வண்ணத்தையெல்லாம் ஆராய்ந்து கேள்வி கேட்கும் சோழ மன்னன் புஜத்தில் பச்சை குத்தப்பட்டிருக்கும் எம்.ஜி.ஆர் உருவத்தை பார்த்து “யார் இந்த அரசன்?” என ஏன் கேள்வி கேட்கவில்லை ? என நானும் வம்புக்கு கேள்வி கேட்கலாம் .படம் முழுவதும் கற்பனையென்றான பின் இதற்கெல்லாம் விடையில்லை.
  
  படத்தின் இறுதிக்காட்சிகள் ஈழத்தின் சமீபத்திய நிகழ்வுகளுக்குப் பின் செல்வராகவனுக்கு தோன்றியதாக சிலர் நினைப்பதற்கு முகாந்திரம் அதிகமே . ஒரு நாட்டின் ராணுவம் என்பது தேசபக்தியின் அடையாளம் , ஒழுக்க சீலர்களின் கூடாரம் ,புனிதப்பசுக்கள் போன்ற பாடப்புத்தக பொதுப்புத்தியிலிருப்பவர்களுக்கு கடைசி காட்சிகளை ஜீரணிக்க முடியாதிருக்கலாம் . ஆனால் அதை துணிந்து பதிவு செய்த செல்வாவை பாராட்ட வேண்டும். சோழர் காலத்து மொழியில் வரும் வசனங்கள் பலருக்கும் புரியவில்லை என பரவலாக குற்றச்சாட்டு உள்ளது .எனக்கு ஒரு சில வார்த்தைகள் தவிர அனைத்தும் தெளிவாக புரிந்தது.
  
  செல்வா இன்னொன்றை செய்திருக்கலாம் ..படத்தை முடித்த பின்னர் வெளிப்படையாக கருத்து சொல்ல வாய்ப்பில்லாத தன் உள்வட்டத்தில் உள்ளவர்களை தவிர்த்து தனக்கு வெளிவட்டத்தில் ஒரு சில தரப்பினரிடம் படத்தை காண்பித்து கருத்து கேட்டிருந்தால் ,இரண்டாம் பாதியில் சில குறைத்தல் ,சரிப்படுத்துதல் செய்திருந்தால் இந்த படம் தமிழ் சினிமாவில் தொழில்நுட்ப ரீதியில் ஒரு மைல் கல்லாக அமைந்திருக்கும் .
  
  குறைகளைத் தாண்டி கண்டிப்பாக இது புறக்கணிக்கப்படவேண்டிய படமல்ல , கொட்டப்பட்டிருக்கும் உழைப்புக்காகவேனும் .

  I saw Aayirathil Oruvan twice in two different versions over the weekend. Firstly I must say, it is really a commendable effort for trying something very new for TFI. But the efforts could have been much much better.
  
  It seems like the film is a mixture of Hollywood flicks like, Kingkong, Indiana jones 1 and 3, The last Samurai. The story line about the chozhas and pandyas are good. But I felt that SR made some mistakes in screenplay and it really slackened the story.

  watched the movie...
  entertaining + dragging, 1 mean the first half and second half...
  but the way they have taken the movie, first to tamil cinema, very authentic portrayal of the happenings and the atmosphere in the scene...
  too much of hardwork undergone i guess...
  the camera, editing, special effects, except for the amateur animation of the firefish initially... everything is awesome...
  
  ultimately, though the second half is dragging, i would recommend everyone to watch it for such movie has come from one of our directors...
  
  and yeah not for some ladies and kids, but my cousin kids liked the movie and none of them slept though its a nite show...
  
  though there were some semi nude scenes, they did not poke out as its part of the narration, and to say was not "aabasamic"

  Good One.. But total story told
  
  The following lines from the review almost my views.
  
  திரும்பவும் ஒரு சமாச்சாரத்தைச் சொல்லணும்... செல்வராகவன் என்ற கலைஞனைக் காயப்படுத்த வேண்டும் என்பது நமது எண்ணமல்ல. படைப்பில் குறைந்தபட்ச நேர்மை வேண்டும் என்பதைச் சொல்வதே.
  
  சின்னச் சின்ன விஷயங்கள், காட்சிகளின் அழகுக்காக பெரிய அளவு மெனக்கெட்டிருக்கும் செல்வராகவன் குழு, ஒரு முழுமையான ஸ்கிரிப்டை உருவாக்கத் தவறியதே, ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவன் தடுமாற்றத்தோடு வந்திருப்பதற்குக் காரணம்.
  
  சோழர்களை நரமாமிசம் திண்ணும் காட்டுமிராண்டிக் கூட்டமாகக் காட்டுவதற்கு என்ன காரணம் சொல்வாரோ செல்வராகவன் தெரியவில்லை
  
  இதற்கு குறிப்பிட்ட ஒரு சரித்திர பின்புலத்தை குறியீடாகக் காட்ட வேண்டிய அவசியம் என்ன... 'ஒரு ஊர்ல ஒரு ராஜா' என்று எதையாவது சொல்லிவிட்டுப் போவதுதானே... சோழர் சரித்திரத்தை இழுக்க வேண்டியதில்லையே!
  
  
  ரீமா சென்னை செல்வராகவன் கையாண்டிருக்கும் விதம் அவரது பிறழ்ந்த மனநிலையின் குறியீடாகவே பார்க்கத் தோன்றுகிறது.
  
  இந்தப் படத்தின் கலைஞர்கள் பங்களிப்பைப் பொறுத்தவரை கார்த்தி பரவாயில்லை. பார்த்திபனை இன்னும் பக்குவமாக கையாண்டிருக்கலாம் இயக்குநர். இந்த மிகைப்படுத்தலே அவரை அந்நியமாக்குகிறது படத்தின் ஓட்டத்திலிருந்து.
  
  
  உலகில் கெட்ட விஷயங்கள் இருக்கத்தான் செய்கின்றன... இருந்தாலும் நாம் அந்த முடை நாற்றத்துக்குள்ளேவா வாழ்கிறோம்? கெட்டவைகளை விலக்கி, நல்லவைகளை நாடுவதில்லையா... படைப்புகளில் முடிந்த அளவு வக்கிரத்தைத் தவிர்ப்பது வரும் சந்ததிக்கு ஒரு கலைஞன் செய்கிற மிகப் பெரிய கைம்மாறு.

  saw the movie today... on the contrary of many reviewers i liked only the second half. first half was unimaginably amateurish. reema sen and andrea shebbaa lip sync was another issue felt like killing selva first..the way he has handled them both and what teh heck was "oh eesa" all about. picturisation was totally irrelavant to the movie. the only solace factor in the first half was karthi's acting...
  second half was awesome..background music was extraordinary esp towards the end...and a mindblowing performance from partheeban.. a few errotic looking scenes could have been avoided... cg was kinda ok considering its only an indian movie..overall a very good attempt by selva...pretty much evident how much efforts has gone into it.. wish the movie success.....

  Looks like i have to see this movie again because they have cut so many scenes in UK version.
  
  I just had a look at the Internet Copy and there is actually a climax fight then army torture and more, i didnt get to see that in the UK version... what we saw was the cholas come out attack with stones then parthibans dialouge and then parthipans death. There was also so many scenes cut in 1st half such as the village fight.

  Selva threatens to quit films : DC
  I will quit films and issue a public apology if anyone can prove that my movie Aayiratthil Oruvan was a ripoff of several Hollywood films," challenged filmmaker Selvaraghavan at the postrelease press conference on Monday morning.
  
  Selva threw open the dare in front of his entire team, including actors Karthi and Reemma Sen as well as the media. Selva remarked that the audiences should go to the next level to understand AO. "When you are able to watch fantasy Hollywood films like Avatar and Harry Potter without asking any questions, why single out a similar attempt from me?" he lashed out.
  
  He also remarked that he intends to make a sequel to this film soon. When this newspaper asked him whether Karthi, with whom the film ends with a `thodarum' tag, will be featured in his sequel, he categorically said `no'.
  
  Then he went on to explain, "He cannot act in the sequel as the film starts with the small boy whom Karthi carries towards the end, who is the real Aayiratthil Oruvan," he clarified. When asked i he would experiment with a commercial hero like Vikram with whom he is currently working, Selva said, "I am not doing that.
  But, all the same, I am balancing between commercial and real cinema."
  
  Karthi said he was happy that he had been well- received in the film and that he is reaping the fruits of the three years of hard work that both he and the team had put into the project. Actor Parthiban, Azhagam Perumal, GV. Prakash, producer Raveendhran, cinematographer Ramjee and art director Santhanam were some of the others present on the occasion.

  வேறுபடுகிறேன். Harry போன்ற படங்களில் வரும் வசனங்களையும் ரசிக்கும் கூட்டம் இருக்கிறது. Harry போன்ற தொடர் புத்தகங்களை படித்து, பிறகு திரைப்படங்களை ரசித்தவர்களுக்கு வசனங்கள் தானே ஊடகம்!

  first half sucks in a harsh word to say....
  i did not even felt a second boring in the first half.. it was really entertaining to most of them who came along with me in general and ya, taste differs...

  MEANING OF THE THIRD THIRUPPAVAI PAASURAM (DR. V. K. S. N. RAGHAVAN)
  If we (who adhere to the Vratam-Paavai nOnbhu) sing in praise of the holy names of the
  Utthaman, Lord Thrivikraman (the most benevolent Lord), who grew to a cosmic form and
  measured the three worlds in two strides and put His third step on the head of Emperor
  MahABali, and then if we take the bath (in sacred YamunA) in the name of our Vratham, then
  there will be three timely showers (of rain) throughout the country and there will be no harm at
  all (i. e., no drought, nor any famine). The country will be rich and plentiful (because of the
  copious rains); the fish (kayal) will roam about amidst tall stalks of large red paddy crops
  (drinking sufficient honey from fallen-pollen and becoming dazed); the bees with spots (all
  over their bodies) will fall asleep amidst the petals of KuvaLai-flower (Blue Lotus/
  NeelOthpalam) and the great, profusely milk-giving, generous cows will yield milk just while
  being touched on their stout udder filling up a number of milk-cans very quickly; because of
  plenty of milk, only skillful people could undertake to milk these cows. Thus, the whole
  country will be filled with undecaying wealth and prosperity (Richness in fields, lands and
  villages is assured if the good people take to righteous path and sing the glory of Lord
  Thrivikrama).

  Selva demonstrated his talent.. but the movie????.. sorry to say.. it sucks!!!
  
  Karthi & Reema done a Good job. Karthi's role is not having much importance except the title
  
  Eventhough they spent much time and effort, atlast they failed to entertain!
  
  Its just my view..

  Baradwaj Rangan's brief note on the film from the comments section of his blog:
  

  Baradwaj Rangan wrote:

  Just watched AO this afternoon. Didn’t care much for the first half at all. Was quite bewildered by the amateurishness (which may have been partly a result of the cuts). But then the Parthiban portions kicked in and I was hooked. I really enjoyed the second half, and it make me relook at a few things that didn’t work for me in the first half as well. Certainly not up to Pudhupettai (which is my favourite Selva film), but problems and all, certainly worth a watch.

  
  

• From: equanimus on Thu Jan 21 2:07:51 2010.

  I completely agree with Baradwaj about the first half, which did nothing at all to me. I too thought things got a bit more meaningful in the second half, but it got nowhere close to actually being enjoyable for me.
  
  I'm still waiting for a review/take that simply cuts loose and resolutely (!) pans this film without worrying too much about Selva's ambition in attempting a film of this kind, the crew's effort, etc.

  but why? i went into second half with lot of objectivity but there were places in second half which had its impact.........this had nothing to do with selva paasam or the effort taken or anything .......i got irriatated when he used the age old "double cross" methods in spy/war movies and the surprise elements were hardly of any surprise.......
  
  second half was pieces of contrived ideas put together, for ex: the old man offering to die to pave way for their expedition could have been shown in a more implicit way......i dont know why he relied on extremity when he should have concentrated on smooth flow of screenplay...........which is where ur post in Indian films section made sense -

  Totally agree with Anban here. This is a stirring scene. The touch of humour especially hits the spot. I think Selva taps into Tamil mythology in these sequences. The scene where an impoverished woman confronts the king also comes to mind. But what's annoying is the utter lack of tonal consistency. These moments are scattered here and there and the very next scene would be about something else.
  
  

• From: AravindMano on Thu Jan 21 3:17:59 2010.

  An unintentionally/intentionally hilarious moment - Andrea to Parthiban - "Raja Please".
  
  The crowd responded to that scene very well and i think they were too depressed with the Tamil in the second half.
  
  Few more moments - Spoilers - A saadharaNa prajai slaps the king when he decides to kill himself after knowing the betreyal (very unique i thought); The Nizhal scene ofcourse (BGM!!); Parthiban calls his people - naaLaikku naam pOgirOm (His expressions); and achchappaduvOm endru ninaiththeeraa!

  I thought there was no sense of fluidity in the narrative (if I'm not mistaken, the Gladiator arena sequence follows this scene!), it was more or less an array of disjointed sequences. So I'll let the question pass. (But I don't think it was 7-8 minutes long.)

  I thought the first half is the for the easy-go audience in a theatre crowd and second half is for the movie buffs like me.. Even in my review earlier, I never mentioned that the movie is bad.. For me, it had everything starting from hero's intro (rendavadhu padathuliyae this guy is getting whistles in UK) until the scene where Karthi is crowned as AO.
  
  I was more keen on the second half but I thought the pre intermission scene should have been a bit more intense. The three main characters going bizaare with laughs/madness is just giving thoughts to the audience. The tamil used in the second half was more attractive along with the costumes except for the fact that Reema had to properl lip-sync with Aishwarya's voice (or the other way round) ..
  
  Things I liked :
  Parthiban's intro
  His conversation with Reema before the sword fight
  200 yr old man's suicidal and the corresponding scenes

  didn't know where to post this when I came across this quote.
  
  but I would like to post it here as the movie talks about chola and pandya period.
  
  

  Quote:

  According to the Sangam classics, each of the respective rulers of the chief Tamil kingdoms, the Cera, Cola and Pandya, carried his sword as far north as the Himalayas, and implanted on its lofty heights his respective crest the bow, the tiger and the fish. In these adventures which the Tamil Kings underwent for their glorification, they did not lag behind their northern brethren. The very epithet Imayavaramban shows that the limits of the empire under that Emperor extended to the Himalayas in the north. This title was also earned by Ceran Senguttuvan by his meritorious exploits in the north. Names like the Cola Pass in the Himalayan slopes, which in very early times connected Nepal and Bhutan with ancient Tibet, give a certain clue to the fact that once Tamil kings went so far north as the Himalayas and left their indelible marks in those regions.

  Hi Equa, this ritual is called Navakandam. It was very widely practiced in Tamil kingdoms esp. in Chola. Rajaraja tried to discourage this ritual since it was really horrible. Whenever a big event like war or something monumental is about to be done, somebody comes forward and says that they will perform navakandam so that the event would be successful.
  
  The person performing Navagandam plants a thin bamboo stick into the earth and ties his long hair(kudumi) to the other end. As he kneels down the tension increases and the bamboo stick is bent nearly the hlaf its size, at the same time the neck is prolonged. Then he chops his neck with his own sword and the bamboo stick regains its original vertical position with the severed head splattering blood all over the nearby standing persons. Mostly it is done when the king or the commanding general is nearby. If the king gets the splattered blood over his body it is believed that the event would be a very successful one.
  
  You can find notes about Navagandam written by lot of historians who covered chola kingdom esp. sadhasiva pandarathar and neelakanda sastri. Even Balakumaran mentions this in his book udayar

  There is a scene where the 200 yr old commits suicide (apparently, its called Navakandam here.. )
  
  Thanks a lot for your post Sivank.. I was wondering why they have to stick a bamboo, instead they could have did it with a hanging rope nu. The reason holds that the blood will splatter but Parthi was way up the top and thinking whether the blood reached him though

  Fire and brimstone, mostly -- Aayirathil Oruvan
  
  
  Probably irked by the tepid response to his Pudhupettai, Selvaraghavan rises above the predictable in Aayirathil Oruvan (A). It may be a never-before attempted narrative in Tamil cinema. Yet is this enough to make a film riveting? Obviously the intention is to be different. But to what end?
  
  Selva fuses history with fantasy, past with present and insular life of yore with the bohemian style of now — the result? A hotchpotch of ideas showcased in all its magnificence without clarity and cohesion! When the film is announced as an imaginary adventure, it is pointless to harp on the logic factor. The challenge for Selva was to make the travel appealing. But AO falls flat because its director is so caught up in the peripheral that he fails to make the story intelligible. After all, how can the viewer enjoy a show when he hardly understands what's going on? Re-recording turns villain in certain scenes where voices are drowned in sound and you are in the dark about what is being exchanged!
  
  When AO opens with Pratap Pothen as a professor of archaeology researching in No Man's Land, the surmise is that it could have something to do with Brenden Fraser's Mummy franchise. But Selva's AO is original — the story is confusing and the screenplay doesn't make things any better.
  
  The remains of a long-lost Chola kingdom are followed and traced by a group comprising an ex-army man (Azhagamperumal) and young archaeologist Anita (Reemma Sen), with a sinister purpose. Lavanya (Andrea), an archaeologist herself, who believes that the group is setting out to find her father (Pratap Pothen) joins them. Several labourers with Sukumar (Karthi) as their head are employed for the expedition which is fraught with danger…
  
  Sporting soiled clothes and a grimy visage, initially Karthi's looks and behaviour are more an extension of his Paruththi Veeran role. He is the livewire who lends levity and sustains interest in the film. But you feel sorry for the young hero. Did he have to waste more than two precious years on a project (gigantic no doubt) that has a baffling story, which only has him playing second fiddle to Reemma Sen? Battered, bruised, abused and tossed about by the girls, you expect him to retaliate with much vigour. He doesn't!
  
  Reemma dominates the screen. Smart and beautiful, she steals the show at many turns. But steel yourself for some of her boldness that could shock even the least prudish among us! Andrea is much more sober with only a few chances to go wild and berserk (Thank God!). Performance wise, her scope is limited.
  
  Sequences come and go in jerks — couldn't editor Kola Bhaskar have bettered matters? Suddenly you have a Gladiator kind of arena, with an unscrupulous Anita enjoying people being crushed to death by a Goliath and his huge piece of stone! Dark humans scream and wail ceaselessly, while their king (Parthepan) grunts in sorrow! Just when you decide they have no language as such, the king sings, recites poetry and speaks fluently, of course, in a dialect which even a seasoned Tamil filmgoer finds odd!
  
  Amidst all the perplexity, locations, lighting, colour tones and angles (the lens man is Ramji) stand out. CG plays a vital part, no doubt, but it also comes a cropper in certain sequences when the effort shows. Santhanam's artwork is laudable, if you can forget his Chola town which appears more like a partially dismantled theatre set!
  
  Voyeuristic flights, nightmares, delusions, cacodemons — AO has them all. Only that contextually you are not too sure when it flits from the real, and when the surreal takes over!
  
  What is Selva trying to say? Frankly, the film had me flummoxed!

A hotchpotch of ideas showcased in all its magnificence without clarity and cohesion! When the film is announced as an imaginary adventure, it is pointless to harp on the logic factor. The challenge for Selva was to make the travel appealing. But AO falls flat because its director is so caught up in the peripheral that he fails to make the story intelligible. After all, how can the viewer enjoy a show when he hardly understands what's going on? Re-recording turns villain in certain scenes where voices are drowned in sound and you are in the dark about what is being exchanged! When AO opens with Pratap Pothen as a professor of archaeology researching in No Man's Land, the surmise is that it could have something to do with Brenden Fraser's Mummy franchise. But Selva's AO is original — the story is confusing and the screenplay doesn't make things any better. The remains of a long-lost Chola kingdom are followed and traced by a group comprising an ex-army man (Azhagamperumal) and young archaeologist Anita (Reemma Sen), with a sinister purpose. Lavanya (Andrea), an archaeologist herself, who believes that the group is setting out to find her father (Pratap Pothen) joins them. Several labourers with Sukumar (Karthi) as their head are employed for the expedition which is fraught with danger… Sporting soiled clothes and a grimy visage, initially Karthi's looks and behaviour are more an extension of his Paruththi Veeran role. He is the livewire who lends levity and sustains interest in the film. But you feel sorry for the young hero. Did he have to waste more than two precious years on a project (gigantic no doubt) that has a baffling story, which only has him playing second fiddle to Reemma Sen? Battered, bruised, abused and tossed about by the girls, you expect him to retaliate with much vigour. He doesn't! Reemma dominates the screen. Smart and beautiful, she steals the show at many turns. But steel yourself for some of her boldness that could shock even the least prudish among us! Andrea is much more sober with only a few chances to go wild and berserk (Thank God!). Performance wise, her scope is limited. Sequences come and go in jerks — couldn't editor Kola Bhaskar have bettered matters? Suddenly you have a Gladiator kind of arena, with an unscrupulous Anita enjoying people being crushed to death by a Goliath and his huge piece of stone! Dark humans scream and wail ceaselessly, while their king (Parthepan) grunts in sorrow! Just when you decide they have no language as such, the king sings, recites poetry and speaks fluently, of course, in a dialect which even a seasoned Tamil filmgoer finds odd! Amidst all the perplexity, locations, lighting, colour tones and angles (the lens man is Ramji) stand out. CG plays a vital part, no doubt, but it also comes a cropper in certain sequences when the effort shows. Santhanam's artwork is laudable, if you can forget his Chola town which appears more like a partially dismantled theatre set! Voyeuristic flights, nightmares, delusions, cacodemons — AO has them all. Only that contextually you are not too sure when it flits from the real, and when the surreal takes over! What is Selva trying to say? Frankly, the film had me flummoxed! http://www.hindu.com/cp/2010/01/22/stories/2010012250060200.htm

  Aayirathil Oruvan and Avatar
  
  By Behindwoods Visitor Paul C
  
  The views expressed in this column are that of the visitor. Behindwoods.com doesn't hold responsible for its content.
  
  Hi
  
  My name is Paul and I am a regular visitor of behindwoods.com. I like to add an article regarding the movie ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ and share my views and opinion about the movie.
  
  It has been a long wait for all movie buffs who expected Indian Cinema, especially Tamil cinema to meet international standards. And the wait finally gets over with the all time best Indian Movie- Aayirathil Oruvan.
  
  Let’s appreciate before we criticize:
  
  Right from the release of the movie there has been mixed reviews and opinions about this movie. We only see a lot criticisms and a very few appreciations. First, our general audiences need to learn how to appreciate a movie on a whole rather than criticizing the very few negatives on it. Aayirathil Oruvan is a movie to be relished and watched multiple occasions for many wonderful elements in it. There had not been a single movie in Tamil Cinema which can be showcased to world audience (given the varied culture and ethnicity). Aayirathil Oruvan will definitely break these odds as it is on par with World Cinema. Right from the script, to the casting and making, everything is different in the movie and it is really a laudable effort.
  
  Who should watch this movie?
  
  This movie is certainly for all movie goers, but it is a breather for all who want to take a break from the regular ‘run of the mill’ and formulaic Tamil movies. If masala and
  
  
  
  
  commercial movies are not your cup of tea, then Selva’s Aayirathil Oruvan is for you!!
  
  Things to keep in mind before watching the movie:
  
  This is a fantasy movie and not a historical one. Please do not question relevance and proofs for the Cholas you watch on screen to the ancient Cholas.
  Pay attention to the disclaimer and the initial introduction before the actual movie starts, besides checking who is sitting next to you in theatre.
  
  If you got difficulties in understanding the Sangam Tamil, listen to the song which Parthiban sings about their life and pay attention to the paintings shown by Parthiban. If not watch for the second time and it will answer your doubts.
  
  Stop comparing the scenes and stunts with other Hollywood movies and concentrate on the movie till it ends.
  
  Do not expect a ‘kuthu’ song or an opening song.
  
  This film is certified as A and whoever complained that this film is not suitable for family audience has to be ashamed of himself for not knowing the difference between U, A and U/A
  
  Let me list out the notable elements in the movie which deserves appreciation and a big WOW:
  
  The script: never seen and never heard in Indian Cinema
  The narration and screen play: have you any clue how to make a fantasy movie? If not, please watch Aayirathil Oruvan
  The cinematography: unlike regular Tamil movies, there is no shaky close ups of the hero and villain. You could see both the art and casting in the single frame with an apt lighting and vivid details.
  The Art direction: when creativity and originality meets, the byproduct is seen in AO
  Casting: we have only seen 100 different dancers dancing behind our hero and his lady love. But Aayirathil Oruvan has made that odd number of actors to be an inevitable part of the movie.
  BGM: one of the best and first of its class in Indian Cinema.
  Songs: First of its kind in Indian Cinema- fits in the right place and not alien to the movie.
  Stunts: we do not want to see our hero jumping from skyscrapers and doing aerobics. Yet visually splendid stunts are in place and who said sword fight is extinct? You can see a master class of the art in this movie
  Production: no hero value, no Harris Jayaraj or Rahman, never heard and tested genre, are you game for it?- The answer is Raveendran- The brave heart of Indian Cinema- Hats off to you for taking the honor and producing a visual classic.
  Direction: with this movie, Selva leaves an open statement to all magnum opus directors: “can you make bigger than this?”
  
  Our audiences are always obsessed with Hollywood movies and they do not fail to watch and appreciate the movie even though they do not understand the movie fully or the dialogues in the movie or the script of the movie. We just accept it whole heartedly because it is from Hollywood-the mother of World Cinema. Should we call it ‘ignorance’ from our part?
  
  Let’s compare our Aayirathil Oruvan with the latest Hollywood sensation, Avatar:
  
  We all enjoyed Avatar, for it is a 3D movie and from the director of Titanic, the all time big hit. Assuming that you watched the English version of Avatar: Did you (general Tamil audience) really understand the script of the movie? Did you understand all the words/dialogues spoken in the movie? Did you really understand the narration? But what made us like the movie are its rich visuals and animated flora and fauna presented in a 3D environment besides the war scenes. We watched it multiple times with our family and friends and made it a big hit and proclaimed “Hail Hollywood!!” Did we really see the flaws in the movie? Did we question anything which we found fishy in the movie? The answer is NO-because it is Hollywood and we like it.
  
  Now let’s see Aayirathil Oruvan: we did understand the script of the movie, we did understand the narration, we did understand the dialogues except for the Sangam Tamil (not much), we did enjoy the visual effects, and so what is stopping us from liking this movie? Do we expect our directors to present a 3D glass to watch Tamil movies? If you liked and loved Avatar, you got to like Aayirathil Oruvan. It’s our ignorance and non appreciative attitude which makes us downtrodden and under developed in World Cinema. If we continue to have the same attitude of not supporting movies like Aayirathil Oruvan, Pokkisham, Naan Kadavul, Anbe Sivam, etc., we will never see ourselves as one of the pillars of world cinema.
  
  I (an ardent Tamil movie fan) like to congratulate Selvaraghavan and the entire crew for their hard work and efforts to present THE BEST movie in Indian Cinema. Despite the bad reviews and controversies on the movie, I request our audience to take a look at the movie (in theatres) and appreciate the effort. I request Selvaraghavan, Cheran, and Bala, Kamal Haasan, not to back off from their originality and creativity and continue delivering better results and escalate the status of Tamil Cinema. Hail Tamil/Indian Cinema!!! Be Indian!! Like Indian!! Happy Republic Day!

  LM,
  School-layE nAn non-detailed-la thAn mark vAnguvEn.
  
  equanimus,
  My initial reading was that of a 'cycle' as well. But SelvA leaves a lose strand (the statue not being taken with the kid etc..) for that reading to be completely viable. One could assume it was an oversight, but as oversights go it is a fairly large one.
  
  The first half is quite irrelevant. As is Andrea's character - I mean let us take that entire subplot about her and her dad out of the equation. Archaeologist Anita and party hire Sukumar and cohorts to find the lost kingdom of the ChOzhAs. Completely plausible that Reema would be able decipher the inscriptions. So why Andrea? I got the feeling that SelvA changed course midway through the shooting.
  
  In my opinion the portion in the caves were the best portions of the film. Some of the sexually 'explicit' voodoo scenes between Reema and Parthiban were edited - either by the censor board or the Sathyam operator. But Reema was very good in whatever little they left behind - and I dont mean that in a "hyuck-hyuck / giggedy" manner.
  
  While it was interesting that someone actually decided to talk about the barbaric nature of civilization, the hidden bacchanal tendencies of all humans and the horrors of war the entire second half seemed design to serve these overarching constructs. While I still preferred the second half to the first, the more I think about it the less I like it. Quite a schizophrenic film but it times the 'high notes' perfectly and hits them really well.
  
  P.S: I think SelvA makes it quite clear that the people in fatigues were mercenaries - so all those allegations of denigrating the armed forces are misplaced.

  Yes. But that would belabor the point. Ideally (anga inga mAnE, thEnE, IMO pOttukOnga) the film would have ended with Andrea, her dad, the prince and Sukumar escaping with the statue then it would have been a nice self contained unit.

  Just saw the movie. was pleasantly surprised after reading all the negative reviews.
  
  Pluses
  The sheer audacity of the plot
  The locales and the sets (in the 2nd half)
  The open-ended climax
  The battle sequence
  
  Minuses
  Script that wants you to sympathize with Chozhas, but does not help do so...
  Some scenes added at the dir's whims (girls cussing, gladiator scene)

  It was soothing to see a movie like that, when you have been bombarded with crap movies, with hero bashing up villains, cleansing the society, chasing terrorists...
  
  These are my comments on the film, I am in Cine field, I know a 'bit' about acting, editing, camerawork...etc.
  
  Pluses
  
  1) Stunning locations, esp. scenes shot using helicopter, Cranes, and steady cam.
  
  2) Fight sequences, edited nicely
  
  3) BGM, and songs, (though. there was no need for it)
  
  4) 3D graphical animation esp., the snake attach bit and the shadow of 'Nadarajah' in desert, I think the desert scene was shot in studio, and some in parts of central Australia
  
  5) Parthiban- has done splendid job, hats off
  
  6) last but not least, Our Indian ‘Lara Croft’ , Reema sen , she must be in her 30’s now, she still looks stunning like she did in that movie along with maddy , was it minale?
  
  Minuses
  
  
  1) Drags beyond, 3 hrs!
  
  2) In the first trap set by ‘Chola Mannan’ , the first tribe they encounter were Africans, now if the island where cholan seems to be hiding was near Vietnam, where the on earth African tribes come in the way, the route from India to Vietnam, will only include countries like Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia, and Thailand. So how did the African tribes get into the plots?? ‘ Naala kathila poo vaikira katha’
  
  3) All these F*** swearing is marvelous, we need to educate our youngsters about how to do this through movies…well done, this is definitely a ‘Trend setter’.
  
  4) Was it really necessary to show 2 women hugging a guy and sleeping together??

  some more unforgivable minuses of the film
  
  1)The three rulers in south India - the Cheras, the Cholas and the Pandyas - are said to have led a civilized life unlike the way depicted by Selvarghavan, who shows them as cannibals. That is a bit too much to digest!
  
  Their customes, their mannersim looked so much of cannibals. This quite upsetting!!! How on earth did he get this 'basic' thing wrong?
  
  
  2) grave flaws in the screenplay

  The aborigines (from australia) tend to have similar features as do the tribes from Andaman... so that that did not seem too jarring.
  
  Also, sub groups that emigrate away from the homeland - especially the ones that are constantly persecuted, tend to become more regid and extreme, so a small group of Chozhas, fighting for their survival, COULD become so radical. I was prepared to accept that as well.
  
  But the characterization of the group did not seem consistent through the movie. Were they primitive (due to poverty) or sadistic or just brave by ancient sangam standards?

  My angle on this movie was , Selva should have showed even Parthiban and gang in current time (modern world) just like rema and gang .And Both Cholans, and Pandiyans should have a , Face off in that place that would have definetely..pulled of this movie as a hit.
  
  In Current state No Matter how many more Press meet they have, it can't be justified.

  Essentially there is no typifying and boxing things. Each to his own. As far as movies go, it is not about whether those characters are typical. It is only about whether they feel real (this distinction is often confused).
  
  What matters is, in the reality of that movie, do those characters make sense, do those reactions, motivations make sense. Would such a person mouth such a dialogue etc. And it is the creator's job to be able to convince the audience and make them believe in his reality.
  
  I found GM's louu portrayals in VV-KK very irritating. Largely because the characters were poorly build, it was all coolness and show and it seemed artificial. Now when we say 7G is repulsive and stupid - it perhaps is. But did it seem convincing ? Could you believe that Kathir and Anitha could exist ? (Not people like them, I just mean could they exist, that is all). After a point, do you buy into them sufficiently ?
  
  I would say a mild yes. Compared to Goutham Menon I would say a most emphatic yes.
  
  

• From: SoftSword on Wed Jan 27 10:11:05 2010.

  well written.....
  for me the kadhir character made some sense cos, he was not portrayed as a hero, for most of the parts he was shown as a loser...
  and the way he falls in love, after the bus incident changes his mind by controlling himself, then again following her, then agree to be friends, then again proposing... etc, sound a bit realistic and shows the oscillations in a guys mind and life...
  
  but i don reject KK altogether, it was looking good though not real...
  it had some style in it... or the so called "class"

  Kadhir (I think) was written to elicit from the audience both identification and revulsion.So if one is going to have moral stands based on content, then of course never the twain shall meet.

  Really dont get this analogy. If a movie gets a bigger success means it is liked by Mass and it shd not be classified as class?
  
  What is Mass ? Is that people who could not understand much but the class are the ones with extra intelligence?
  
  Are we coming to a conclusion on the intelligence or talent of Directors based on the reach of a movie?
  
  Sari Appadiyae eduthupoam Oru Paechchukku.
  
  Movies like Moondram Pirai, Salangai Oli, Sippikul Muththu, 16 vayathinile, etc were huge hits? Which category those movie comes under?
  
  BO hits does not based on the intelligence level of Audience.
  
  It is mostly based on the intelligence level of the Directors or movie makers. If they could make people convince on what they are trying to tell, then they succeed. It is as simple as that. To some extent you have to add certain Marketing things.
  
  If we look crap masala movies mostly fail to deliver big in BO including several Marana Mass movies.

  In KK and VV the love or the relation between the leads are only minimal and actually it did not go well with the majority including hub. The BO success based on the entirity of those films. Where as the love / relation handling in 7GR was hugely received compared to the love or relation in KK/VV. Which is Mass.
  
  So GM is class in this respect where as Selva is Mass.
  
  So hubbers view padi paarthaalum GM is better in this case as his way of handling love did not go well with mass
  
  P.S : Yethaachchum purinjuthaa

  The big surprise is that Aayirathil Oruvan, in spite of predominantly negative reviews, is doing well in its second week and is holding on to the number one position.
  
  The film had taken a dip after a great opening, but has now picked up after the controversial scenes were removed and its length reduced.
  
  At number two is Kutty, which is just ok. And in third position is Avatar, which has made a strong comeback due to its excellent collections in theatres screening the 3D version.
  
  At number four is Vijay’s Vettaikaran and at fifth place is 3 Idiots, which has become the highest grossing Hindi film in Chennai.

Surely deserves 'appreciation', not for the new effort and all that, it works as a film itself. Definitely can be watched again also.
  
  P.S: Got the last tickets for goa (6:15), but the very first row.

  16yrs, mudhal mariyadhai, nayagan are sheer class which makes movies run even with "disturbed" heroes - thats where MR,BR,kamal are masters ......

  Baradwaj Rangan's take on AO. A good read
  
  A FILMMAKER ACQUAINTANCE GREW LONG, POINTY TEETH and bit my head off when I uttered but three words in relation to Selvaraghavan’s Aayirathil Oruvan: “I enjoyed it.” Fuddled by the force of his fury, I clarified that I didn’t thrill to the film the way we do with the great films (or, at any rate, the films that we think are great), and that the first half was embarrassingly generic, but a good chunk of the latter portions bore the stamp of a magnificently eccentric vision. And that I respect. Isn’t it refreshing to witness, among other things, a drastic reimagining of the Cholas and the Pandiyas – no longer the benign, benevolent, gold-encrusted royals from Tamil-screen historicals and mythologicals of the fifties and sixties, but blood-soaked barbarians? At least till the climax, neither dynasty is painted in a particularly sympathetic light in order that we (as mainstream-movie audiences) can “root” for one over the other, having sniffed out the good guys from the bad. They’re both simply and unapologetically the creatures they are, forged by creation and conditioning.
  
  The qualifications in my assessment of the film somewhat mollified the filmmaker acquaintance – but he’s not the only one so quick (and so vituperative) about denouncing Aayirathil Oruvan. The bad word of mouth (combined with the bad press) makes me wonder if we, at times, decide to fully love or fully hate a film without stopping to consider that all films position themselves someplace along the mile-long continuum in the middle. All films have problems – what’s important is whether these problems overwhelm our experience (in which case, we consign the film to the “bad” bin) or whether they sneak past unnoticed (ergo, a “good” film). Is Aayirathil Oruvan a sometimes frustrating, oftentimes problematic experience? Absolutely. But is it worth a watch (or two, or three), especially if you’re seriously into cinema and if your interests lie, along with entertainment, in examining to what extent the largely inflexible boundaries of the mainstream can be remapped? Again, absolutely.
  
  Loosely put, if the three Indiana Jones installments were filtered through a cracked prism of Tamil history, Aayirathil Oruvan would be the lysergic rainbow that bloomed forth. The creepy-crawly snake-infested attack from Raiders of the Lost Ark is reinforced with the savage, cave-dwelling cult from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and routed through the graph of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where an archeologist-father goes missing, causing the archeologist-child to embark on an expedition retracing his steps. With this in mind, we expect a generic action-adventure ride with a splash of the supernatural, and that is the tone dictated by the early events. We think that the team (comprising Karthi, Andrea, Reema Sen and an unwashed truckload of mercenaries) will dodge the usual traps for three-quarters of the film, until they reach the destination, in the final quarter, where the hitherto mysterious knots will begin to unravel. We think this because that’s how movies of this stripe have conditioned us to think – rather, that’s how these films have conditioned us to not think, and to simply sit back and strap up for the ride.
  
  And so the attention drifts to the ways in which this particular film does not live up to those expectations. We gripe that the CGI effects are substandard, and we wonder how films like this one and Dasavatharam can spend untold crores and yet fall short of the special effects-driven visual elegance of, say, Aladin (never mind that the latter had little else but visual elegance; at least it got that aspect right). We complain that the dangers along the way aren’t staged in a fashion that will stoke our appetites before satisfying our hungers. In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, for instance, we’re introduced to a monstrous head-lopping obstacle and we’re clued in to the fact that “only the penitent man” shall pass. The audience is in as much agony as Harrison Ford, until the second he realises that the penitent man is one who bows, which is how his neck escapes those revolving blades of death. In Aayirathil Oruvan, there’s no such anticipatory anxiety. We’re informed that snakes will arrive, and the snakes dutifully arrive. We’re warned that quicksand pits lie ahead, and quicksand pits dutifully lie ahead. There’s no buildup – merely showdown after mildly diverting showdown.
  
  The joke of the film, however, is that this entire stretch is nothing but buildup to a second-half-long showdown. Once these obstacles are navigated, the film mutates into a beast that could scarcely be imagined from the chromosomal constituents of the first half – which is bad news if you’re a creature of cold logic, but a thrilling turn of events if you’re willing to surrender to heavy-lidded imagery on the threshold of a fever-dream. (The trippy sensation is exaggerated by spectacularly nightmarish soot-and-flame cinematography and slo-mo editing rhythms with ceaseless fades-to-black.) The generic machinery of the first half grinds to a groaning stop, and a visceral fog descends over the proceedings. The last obstacle faced by the team results in their becoming possessed by spirits, and as if taking a cue from its characters, thenceforth, the film itself becomes possessed. This is where the real story begins, one that unceremoniously yanks you back from sit-back-and-relax blockbuster-mode and instructs you to focus with all your (supernatural) powers.
  
  This section also introduces one of Selvaraghavan’s most astonishingly deranged characters (and this film’s best-written) – the Chola king portrayed by Parthiban. He is introduced as a Dionysian despot, defined only by his appetites – for food, for sex, for cruelty. (He has no qualms about butchering pitifully starved subjects who lunge at the sight of fresh meat.) But after a while, he receives vital information that has been awaited for generations – he’s the latest in a long line of Chola kings who huddled for survival in these dank, distant caves – and he transforms in a manner that suggests that his apparent inhumanity was simply the result of frustration, of leading a life with no light at the tunnel’s end. Once he sees that light, though, he’s humanised – his eyes well up as he shares these good tidings with his subjects, and he lightens up enough to engage in an informally choreographed dance item with Karthi. This is an unforgettable character, and Parthiban plays him unforgettably – as a decadent, self-serving Roman monarch who nonetheless holds such a sway over his people that they seize the right to slap his cheek when, in a weak moment, he attempts to slit his throat.
  
  There’s so much that’s compelling in the second half that I readily forgave Selvaraghavan his sins in the preceding portions – the squeezed-in songs, the shabby effects, the shoddily cast heroines (neither of whom is remotely interested in convincing us about their fluency in the spoken language). But other audiences haven’t proved as forgiving, though, and I wonder why. Were they stupefied by the need to connect the dots between, for instance, a character pricking her finger and dripping blood into a reservoir and the payoff scene, much later, where scores of parched soldiers die from this poisoned water? Are these synapse-frying, dream-logic ellipses the reason audiences haven’t been appreciative of a filmmaker who has – instead of spoon-feeding them with overly expository dialogue – chosen to tell his story largely through imagery (frescoes and film), through folk theatre and song (Thaai thindra manne details the deprivations of the Cholas), through documentary footage (about someone’s mysterious past), and through uncharacteristically (for Tamil cinema, at least) economical storytelling?
  
  When a character learns about her father’s disappearance, all we’re shown is her profile in relation to a photograph (of the family in happier times), and a subsequent image has her curled up in a self-comforting foetal position. Neither music nor dialogue is allowed to amplify her emotion. When another character sights a much-sought treasure, she sheds tears of relief and joy, and we cut to a flashback image that intensifies the significance of this treasure – but that’s it. Where another filmmaker would have exploited these opportunities for putting us through the wringer, Selvaraghavan remains coldly clinical. Is this lack of an “emotional connect” the aspect that’s keeping audiences away? But is emotional connect – sympathy, empathy, however you choose to label it – absolutely necessary every single time we step into a cinema hall? Isn’t thoughtful craftsmanship its own reward? Isn’t the real thrill of Aayirathil Oruvan in the way it makes us loop back to earlier events and absorb the gradual coherence and correspondence – in the way Parthiban’s spitting on a statue is complemented by Reema Sen’s spitting in Parthiban’s direction, in the way a search party with torches at the beginning gives way, by the end, to a search party with torchlights?
  
  Or is the issue that of a hypocritical brand of conservativeness? Tamil “family audiences” who’ve evinced no discomfort when sex is shaped on screen in an oblique fashion – when the likes of Jayamalini thrust crotch and cleavage at the movie camera, or when scores of leading ladies in the slightest of saris had their most intimate contours sculpted by pouring rain – appear to be up in arms at Selvaraghavan’s “perversions,” because he makes no attempt to disguise the prurient in penitent garb. The baser instincts of his mind – as indeed the baser instincts of our minds – are up there on screen for all to see, and perhaps we chafe at our innermost secrets being shouted out to the world at large. When Selvaraghavan wants to show a half-naked man sandwiched between two shivering women, or when he wants to depict his hero as someone who carries a condom in his pocket in the hope of an easy lay, or when he wants to show that this hero isn’t beyond adolescent impulses like peering down a woman’s blouse as she bends to administer an injection, he shows us these very things, these very images.
  
  And thus, he continues to direct well-deserved dropkicks towards the nether regions of that nebulous entity we love to hail as “Thamizh kalacharam,” Tamil culture. Not only does the director reduce the Cholas and the Pandiyas – those princely progenitors of much that we recognise as Tamil culture today – to all-too-human savages, he does something similar with their modern-day counterparts. He positions Karthi and his cohorts as repositories of the Dravidian way of life – which translates, as always (and as the film’s title indicates), to worshipping MGR in all his Technicolor glory – and then he tells us that they aspire to nothing more than the company of white-skinned, English-speaking goddesses who drink and swear like sailors, and who think nothing of manipulating their sexuality to achieve their ends. (Parthiban even wangles a scene where he waves his royal sceptre at an appalled Andrea.) That Selvaraghavan has delivered these self-castigating indictments in a film so steeped in a reverential old-Tamil ethos – one where rain is referred to as “maari” instead of the more contemporary “mazhai,” and truth takes the form of “mei” instead of “unmai” – is all the more stunning. Aayirathil Oruvan is far from perfect, but it’s also a perfect example of how a talented filmmaker can succeed in leaving his fingerprints all over even the most generic of genres.

  as far as i no...commercial films r made in a motive to make it a hit with usual ingredients to make it a BO success leaving behind the artistic portion of film making....non commercial films r different,out of the box films,doesn have mundane stuff...biggest example AYIRATHIL ORUVAN

  If "commercial films r made in a motive to make it a hit" are non-commercial films are made with a motive to lose money?
  Can someone define the artistic portion of file making, without quoting examples, for a layman like me? I am not a filmy buff (Hardly watches movies - 3 to 5 per year at the max). So, wanted to get some more info (Dnt tell me that I need to watch and search in the net etc, I can very well do that, but need a start point like some kinda definition)

  Just because the films were hits or average etc, does not mean that they were spared from criticisms.
  
  I believe that everyone have their right to criticize on films. Aren't films made for us anyway? So why should we be deprived from the right to voice out our opinion on the film?
  
  As far as AO is concerned, I watched this film with a friend. My friend loved it and wanted to watch it again, while I just thought that Selva wasted a good storyline with bad direction and unwanted violence/graphics etc and decided that I wouldn't even watch it again for free.
  
  Bottom line is, everyone have their opinion on a film and everyone should be given the chance to voice them out, no matter how hurting those remarks are. Because as we know, a review is plainly a man's personal opinion on the particular film. Is it wrong if he hates it and want others to know about it?

  They could have done away with that song. The same applies to 'Adho andha paravai' - a bad attempt at remix. Yedho title justify pannaradhukukagave vecha madhiri The first half would have been much better without them. Also, graphics - samma comedy Indha cheesy graphicsukka padatha ivalo delay panninaanga??
  
  On the positive side, such a story has never ever been attempted in TFI - a very bold, new and interesting attempt indeed.

  Alavanthan, to me, the modern beats sounded very ordinary. I did not have any issue with the visuals. As u said, it was well placed. Baring the beats, it was just like listening to the original song all over again.

• From: rangan_08 on Mon Feb 8 9:12:10 2010.

  Saw the film last week and let me begin with the cliché, “ first of its kind in Tamil cinema “. Since I’ve read the story, the plus & minus of the film, from various sources, I had no surprises, no shock and even no disappointment. I went there just to see & enjoy the film, and I did. What a convenient way to watch a so called, “ difficult-to-understand “ or “ controversial “ film !
  
  There’s a little bit of eccentricity in every one of us. However, a creator is supposed to have 1007.99 %, times, lbs, cm, inch, cu.met, gross - more than the permissible limit. And, our beloved Selva is a topper in this category.
  
  For a hand full of intelligent guys, like for eg., the author of this crap, viewing, chewing, assimilating & excreting this film is just a child’s play. The film is as clear & sensible as the Copenhagen summit and it’s almost like watching an ostentatious indoor play in Podhighai channel ( no private channel can ever compete with this giant which has numerous multi crore projects to its credit ).
  
  Finally, Navi’s like me can do nothing but to pity those poor human beings who complain about Selva, who, as a result of his creative itch, forced the audience to scratch their dull heads in madness.

  Watched it last night. Selva infuriates and fascinates (infuriates more actually). Not enjoyable but an extreme (both ways) which could have been very interesting. What an audacious vision, the extreme mediocrity and unintentional hilarity running throughout the film notwithstanding.

  Poor execution for a messed-up script. What the hell is wrong with Selva, has so much promise but fails in writing (especially in several final "acts" if you like) as well as execution (especially in this film) ! I wish filmmakers like Selva get more funds for different genres, at least get the execution part right !
